What you're saying..
I just want to thank you for several years of eating discovery and pleasure. My son gave me Desperation Dinners! I started out just letting the book fall open and I made whatever it fell to. Later on I started systematically going through the whole book. It took me about 3 years, but it was an exciting adventure.

I love cheese, so I always add some ground Parmesan and/or Romano cheese to my sauces (it helps to thicken it too). Then I add a healthy pinch of sugar and a teaspoon red wine vinegar for every 24 ounces of sauce. But this is a simple recipe and extra flavors aren't for everyone.
