Dinner the first night was at the house where I served Italian sauce with non-glutten meatballs, sausage and Rigatoni Macaroni. A Light Bolonese Sauce We call this a 'light' bolognese since our standard Bolonese uses meatballs and sausage, and also slabs of meats like pork and beef, simmered for hours until tender. The light bolognese below is served most Sundays at our house. I can remember so many weekends with my 4 sisters helping mom get dinner on the table. Now and again a boyfriend of one of us would happen by, just to be able to spear a meatball in passing the large saucepan. My son's eyes still light up when I tell him we're going to have meatballs, sausage and sauce for dinner :) I) Start the sauce Ingredients: 3 Tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon oregano Salt Pepper 1/2 cup wine or half that amount of balsamic vinegar with water added to make 1/2 cup. 2 32oz. cans of whole Italian tomatoes broken up with a fork, or 2 28Oz bottles of Bionaturae Strained tomatoes. 1 can or bottle tomato paste 1 can or bottle from the paste of water. Saute the garlic until tender, and add the tomatoes, paste and water. Add the seasonings and wine or vinegar mixure. Stir will, then bring to a slight boil. Reduce the heat immediately to a very slow simmer. II) Make the meatballs. (About 10 meatballs) Ingredients: 3/4 pounds ground beef (chuck or round, but we always use grass-fed beef) 1/4 pound ground pork 1 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs (I make non-gluten bread crumbs, see below) 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese 2 eggs 1 large piece of Italian or good bread, dipped in water and then squeezed lightly to remove excess water. I use purchased Uddy's non-gluten bread but I've also at times used a rosemary bread made with non-gluten flour. [optional: 2 Tablespoons olive oil I add this to organic grass-fed ground beef because the meat is usually so lean.] olive oil to cover skillet 1/2 " Mix all ingredients except the olive oil for the pan. Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inches wide. The best way to do this is to cup your hands, and rotate the beef mixture until a tight ball forms. Cover bottom of skillet with 1/2" of olive oil. Cook over medium-high heat until deeply browned on all sides. If you don't brown them enough, the meatballs will fall apart in your sauce. Either turn frequently, or move pan back and forth sharply but slowly to cause meatballs to roll by themselves. If just making a pot of sauce and meatballs, the meatballs may be added to tomato sauce and simmered for 20 minutes after browning. III) The Sausage 1 1/2 lbs Italian Sweet or Hot Sausage Place the sausage in a clean 10" skillet. Saute the sausage in the pan over medium heat until it is even browned. Add the sausage to the tomato sauce. Continue simmering the tomato sauce for about 3 hours, stirring now and again, carefully from the bottom up so that you don't break the meatballs. The olive oil will be dark and flavorful when the sauce is done and the sauce will be thickened. If the sauce thickens too much, you can add more water, just 1/4 cup at a time.

FIDONEWS Vol 29 No 31 Page 11 July 30, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= I N F O R M A T I O N ================================================================= ================================================================= FIDONEWS INFORMATION ================================================================= FidoNews Article Submission (Updated December, 2011) FidoNews, founded in early 1984, is the newsletter of the FidoNet computer network, for both its Sysops and users. It is passed to its readers electronically via the FidoNet and other computer networks and to non-network readers as well as to the InterNet. Fidonews welcomes articles, editorials, and features of interest to the Fidonet Community. To have your article included in Fidonews, simply send it via netmail to 1:261/1406 or 1:1/1. Here are some guidelines you can use to help me make it easier to format your article for Fidonews: 1. Use standard ASCII text. Most word processor formats can't be used by the Fidonews software. In addition, the Fidonews software won't accept most ASCII control characters nor any characters above ASCII 127 (this, unfortunately, includes all those neat box drawing characters). 2. Start your lines at the left of your screen when typing. The software puts in a left margin automatically, and I have to manually remove any left margin appearing in your document. 3. Keep your line length to under 70 columns for tables or charts (or if you include an ASCII illustration). Regular paragraphs exceeding this 70 column limit can be reformatted during the editing process, but tables and charts are normally distorted beyond recognition by a simple reformatting. 4. Separate paragraphs with a blank line. This is how my text editor recognizes paragraph endings, so I have to add blank lines manually if you don't. 5. Title your article as you'd like to see it in the Table of Contents. If you don't, I'll make up a title for you, but I'd rather have the article appear as you wish. 6. Include your name and node number (or internet address) under the title. I'll grab it from your message, if necessary... but, again, I'd rather have the article appear as you wish. 7. Check your own spelling and wording. Though I feel free to reformat your article so it conforms to technical requirements, I generally leave the wording (and spelling) alone as I don't want to distort what you have to say. 8. Send your article before Sunday in order to see it in that Monday's edition. Normally I put the newsletter together Sunday Evening and send it out... and I normally check email and netmail before I finalize the edition. So if I get your article before Sunday evening, I'll include it... but send it by Saturday to be safe :) 9. If you're not sure whether you should write or send in your article, I would encourage you to send it anyway. Chances are, if you write of something of interest to yourself, it'll be of interest to others. Besides, Fidonews is a better publication when it's written by a variety of people :) Nick Kill Fidonews Editor FIDONEWS Vol 29 No 31 Page 12 July 30, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= C R E D I T S ================================================================= Credits, Legal Infomation, Availability + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- FIDONEWS STAFF - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Editor: Nick Kill, 1:1/1 | | Fidonet History Column: Richard Webb, 1:116/901 | | | + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - EDITORS EMERITI - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Tom Jennings, Thom Henderson, Dale Lovell, Vince | | Perriello, Tim Pozar, Sylvia Maxwell, Donald Tees, | | Christopher Baker, Zorch Frezberg, Henk Wolsink, | | Doug Meyers, Warren D.
