This might have an obvious viagra online in uk effect on brain function. Initially doctors were of the belief that this was a psychological problem and is caused due to stress and it also includes some sexual greyandgrey.com cialis on line issues. 2 cups Water
2 Large Cans of Tomato Sauce
½ cup chopped Fresh Basil or 2 Tbsp Dried

In a large pot, brown beef and onions in oil. Remove. Squeeze the sausage meat out of its casings and brown. Add garlic and stir for a minute or so. If you don’t have fresh basil, add the dried herb now. Add the beef, onions, and tomato sauce. Cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours on low heat with the lid on (time depends on meat size, longer for larger). I know this seems like a crazy-long time! You don’t have to stand over it though. Just be sure it’s set to simmer. Near the end, oils from the meat will rise to the top.

Prepare your pasta of choice. A penne is good. You’ll need a hearty-style pasta for this chunky rich sauce. Toss pasta in some of the sauce. Reserve some for a gravy boat so that those who want extra at the table can.

Serve with grated parmesan cheese, crusty bread, and a Sangiovese wine

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
