So, I am cooking a late meal.

Vermicelli and a topping.

The topping-



A little olive all in the pan, a couple, three of garlic cloves, sprigs of Rosemary and Time, butt end of celery stalk - same volume as onion, I suppose., 1/3 of a medium onion, 1/2 small can of sliced black olives. 1 - 1/2 plum tomato's. A healthy shake of Italian, garlic powder, onion powder, celery powder for extra seasonong seasoning. A/1/3 pounder of Hamburger. Sprinkler the rest of a 5 cheese fine diced diary product, mainly to bring it all together..

Simmering now. The question is.....

Add a 1/2 cup of Sour Cream before serving on the Spaghetti. Please advise. My decision depends on your consensus.

On edit, I forgot the squeezable tomato paste. 3 strong squirts of that.

I'm pretty much always going to advocate for adding sour cream. However, this ingredient list looks kind of... dry. Sour cream will help bring it together but I suspect I would add a little milk. Do as you like, of course.

I'm going with the sour cream and 1/2 and 1/2 option tomorrow...I let it go a little too long tonight. Still delicious though. Ate a ham on rye with swiss and mustard.
