They cooked the sauce for house -- six if I remember correctly.

Amazing taste.

There is nothing like homemade tomato sauce from freshly picked, home-grown tomatoes.

all her sauce with pork shoulder for hours with lots of spices.

Did all the homemade canning of tomatoes and tomato sauce. Our basement was turned into a factory during the tomato season. Cooking tomatoes for hours, and even did our own bottling and canning. It was the best.

Homemade spaghetti hung to dry from a clothesline and nocci made by hand.

Ah, those were the days.

I use those and two or three cans of tomato sauce to make my spaghetti sauce. My Neapolitan m-i-l doctored up plain old Hunt's tomato sauce. Go figure!
