Wanted to see who else is going to Watts (Mt Olive) starting in June. I just got my acceptance letter today! Wondering who my fellow classmates will be!
Tar, what mis-mash of stuff do you throw in that makes it so great??
It's not necessarily what you throw in, but how you cook it. take for instance my noodles, you always par-boil them so that when you finish in the pot, they come out aldente' and not mushy. There has to be a little crunch to the oodle. For the meat, the trick is how you season it. I won't give away my recipe, but keep in mind that when an italian takes over cooking something born and bred hungarian, then the rosemary, allspice, garlic and a bunch of other spices will smell up the house. i just started using sea salt and I love it, plus its healthier. Sugar buffers the tomato sauce, but too much will make you feel like your eating a noodle with sugar on top of it, so take it easy. I use very little to knock the tartness of a good roma tomato.
Other than that, you just gotta experience it.
It's a croud favorite at my house. I usually cook it for 10 to 13 people. Bout once a week.
3-4 pounds of G.B.
2-3 Boxes of Noodles, etc., etc..
You get the point.
I've been working on that particular recipe for 10+ years
In the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman...HAHAHA
MANY WILL TRY,
And...FEW WILL FAIL!!!!!
Sorry got that wrong!!
So just mess around with it yourself....I'm a sauce guy, I was taught to cook by a sous chef an that is my primary focus. But I'm also a marinade man and a open flame broiler boy.

I did my Soc survey Thurs nite after class and I was brutally, brutally honest (and I didn't even have to fudge it b/c the truth was bad enough).
I truly hope that no other cohort ever has to deal with that nonsense again.
