Saturday's Saucy Solution
It' that time again...where to go with today's post??...first, back to Webster and Co. for enlightenment:
Saucy \sȯ-sē\ (Me? I would write that \sah-see\, emphasis on the 'sah'). adj.
1 : served with or having the consistency of sauce
2 a : impertinently bold and impudent b : amusingly forward and flippant : irrepressible
3 : smart, trim (e.g. a saucy little number)

Okay, saucy it shall be...

1. having the consistency of sauce...I actually found this when I googled 'saucy solution' and am making it for dinner tomorrow, with breaded chicken on top. Remember when Sunday dinner was a big, fat, hairy deal? Not anymore, kiddies. Nuh-uh. At my house, Sunday = easy-peasy and pleasy, occasionally with a bit of cheesy.

Anyhoo, here's a great recipe for Fresh Marinara Sauce - YUM!!! The only thing better than fresh marinara sauce is fresh pasta to serve it with. I'm a fan of fresh pasta, but I'm not crazy, so I will go ahead and purchase the latter part of the equation.
This recipe serves four, so you probably want to double or quadruple it (my guys would eat double this quantity on a full stomach).


Ingredients -
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 quarts chopped tomatoes
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound fresh/dry linguine, cooked according to package directions
Chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan Regiano

Directions -
Saute garlic in olive oil until golden.
Add onion and bell pepper and saute 5 to 7 minutes, until onion is translucent.
Core and coarsely chop tomatoes. Stir tomatoes, basil, oregano, bay leaf, sugar and salt and bell pepper into the sauteed ingredients. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. To serve, put cooked linguine in large bowl, top with sauce, and garnish with parsley and grated cheese.

2.impertinently bold and impudent b : amusingly forward and flippant: irrepressible

In Hubby's dictionary, saucy (bold, impudent, forward, flippant, irrepressible)equals this...


3 : smart, trim (a saucy little number)
In honor of their domination of the MySpace music charts after their video debuted yesterday, the Sauce of the Day award goes to Justin Tranter of Semi Precious Weapons.



Just started listening to these guys (thanks for the turn-on, KMC), and I really, really like 'em, in a drink-eight-shots-o-tequila-&-go-nuts kinda way. Not for the faint-hearted, or for those who are easily offended. Won't embed the video, but here's the link:

You need to scroll down to play the video. Justin = SAUCY!!!

Think that just about wraps it up for today's saucy session.
xo.
