I still have your instructions written down on a slip of paper somewhere. You’re a good teacher – I learned to make fresh tomato sauce from you!

And I think it's perfectly acceptable to get cooking tips from watching movies. <br/><br/>While few of us have the time to watch onions simmer, the way Sam started was as my pot watcher. His job was to stir the sauce every time the clock chimed a quarter hour. He has been through the paces since.<br/><br/>Thank you for stopping by. And feel free to leave any recipes; sounds like you have the cooking gene. You had the great teachers! And I think it’s perfectly acceptable to get cooking tips from watching movies.

I learned how to make sauce three different times as a kid: first from Aunt Sally on Ogden Street in Middletown, then from Tony at Cousin’s Pizza, and then from the first Godfather movie.

They weren’t that different. I think the idea of blending onions, parsley, black pepper and garlic in Olive Oil first on “low” for an hour or so does add to the flavor and texture of the sauce, but then it takes me a day to complete it, which my wife has no patience for whatsoever.

But you’re doing the right thing with these kids.

And you can’t go wrong with those ingredients for lasagna. Especially if the sauce is home made.
