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.
