Did the whole mix the sauce w/ the pasta thing. We all really liked it, me more than wife and MIL. They thought is made it a little more dry/gluey. Maybe I made too much pasta to sauce ratio.
Anyway I could tell a huge difference.

The dry comments are correct. The pasta absorbs some of the sauce, so it’s not as wet. Still there just not superficially. It really does marry the flavors and changes the character of the pasta. Looks good. Glad you liked it.

On another note, just to kind of humanize this thread a little, I made some burgers Saturday night. They sucked. The end.

There's a reason you don't go to an Italian restaurant and order burgers!
I made them Sunday night and had to put them back on the grill after my first bite. Still figuring out the new Weber.

Possibly. But again, the pasta is going to soak up the sauce when it’s combined over even low heat. So it’s naturally going to be drier. You can also top it off off with a quick pour of olive oil(yes, yes I realize that’s my suggested cure for everything
) if you want to some moisture back in. But honestly, from the picture, that looks about perfect. Probably the best course would be simply not inviting the MIL anymore.

Breakfast if its alright with yall.
My dad's parents lived in a big house south of Lakeland, Fla. It was an old mining house I was told. Now gone to progress. On the edge of a swamp but with a wonderful citrus grove between the house and swamp. The soil reminded me of that dirt around Lawtey so black and rich you could grow anything in it. They had mostly pink grapefruit (the finest I ever had) and different types of oranges and tangerines. Grandma had this big kitchen on the end of the house.I am a morning person but could never get up before her. She always asked what I wanted for breakfast and I always replied "pancakes". She used all purpose flour, baking powder, eggs and milk. Scratch if you will. And would cook me bacon with it. If I could go back in time I believe this is where I would go once more. From her and my Syrian room mate from college I learned to cook. By observing both I came to realize that measuring just slows you down. Today Kevin asked for pancakes. He must have inherited that proclivity from me. So with all purpose flour, baking powder, eggs from my buddy John's chickens and home made vanilla from Carol Powell I made him some. They finally turned out perfect. I had to try them so with some home made cane syrup (thanks to my buddy John Durrance again). I had grandma's (she was born in the 19th century) pancakes in the 21st century. Memories race through my head this time of year like our little race cars did around the track in 1965. Merry Christmas.....................

Professional grade grill marks.Grilled pork chop, pumpkin & hatch chili soup, and salad. Soup was way too spicy for the wife. It did have some heat.

Ima big fan of honey. Had a neighbor that did bees and made a living on it. And have done that on pancakes, waffles and biscuits.
