good to hear this Formo. You NEED to learn his hot fudge recipe. That way you can be the one making it for family outings and making memories 20-30 years from now. (Until then it is your dad's job and he can't quit before then.)

Formo, I was just thinking about you and your dad and your recent post along with my dad when I sautéed some mushrooms the other day. I loved his. I could have eaten the whole batch by myself. I roughly knew how he prepared them but my version is not the same. (He probably used more or a better quality wine.) The seasonings prob are not the same either. I can see him standing at the stove tinkering away and having a great time. Talking to who ever passed thru the kitchen, stirring his concoctions and washing whatever dirty dish he was done using immediately instead of waiting to do them all when dinner was over. (There was a whole lot of Felix Unger in him. I use to hate it. Now what I wouldn't give to experience it 1 more time.)

He use to love to make chicken Cacciatore when we were young. Prob had it 10-15 times a year. As he was winding down I told my wife to make him some. I think of him every single time I see it on a menu. I have not had the heart to make it myself in the past 5 years. I simply could not eat it if I did.

There are about 10 million versions of how to make cacciatore.

this one is about as good (and simple) as any. Dad used green peppers. I never cared for peppers red or green. (I know it is not very Italian of me. Mom's side of the family is appalled.)

the deluxe version

Dad would fuss over his concoction all afternoon. In hind site he must have frustrated Mom because I don't remember her even going into the kitchen when he was at work. Either that or she was thrilled to not have to cook for 7 of us every once in awhile.

The back breaker is the sauce. It is all the little things you add to a homemade marinara sauce that and make the meal or kill it.

today it is all chicken breasts. back in the olden days you had the whole chicken cut into pieces.


if you prefer a wine wine "gravy" try this one. it looks pretty good.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (13h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (13h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
