Monday 10-13-13, Weekend & Marinara Sauce

Nothing spectacular happening this weekend, and I'm glad I didn't do any stupid blogging. My diet was what it normally is, and I exercised pretty much like I would any other weekend.

Sunday we started out in San Bruno, and rode to Burlingame, had lunch at Il Fornaio, and then rode along the south Bay shoreline to the San Mateo bridge. We made the mistake of following the Bayshore road by SFO airport on the way back. Never again. The nose from the airport, the smell of jet fuel, and diesel fuel exhaust was enoughto gag the most ardent support of global warming.

Today I'm making a simple marinara sauce. A client of mine gave me a bunch of tomatoes.  I'll combine those with some Italian canned tomatoes that are on sale at our local grocery store. I'm also going to cook a half dozen pork sausages, and a half dozen chicken thighs in with the those to give the sauce  added flavor from the meat. To this end I will also make some turkey meatballs for Geri who won't eat red meat, and for good reasons.

When Geri and I first started living together we would go out for burgers all over San Francisco, trying to find the BEST burger in the city, but she gave up read me, again for good reasons, and so no more burgers with Geri. We went to the old Hamburger Mary's, Bill's out in the avenues, and the best one we ever found was West Lake Joe's, hands down, cooked to perfection.

The recipe for marinara sauce are already in previous blogs, and I believe for meatballs as well. The difference with turkey meatballs is that when I make my regular meatballs I use equal amounts of ground pork, veal, and beef.

Another great way to cook the turkey meatballs is to poach them in chicken stock, add a little soy sauce, ginger, and greens onions.

That's it for today.

Peace,
