Late that night after things had settled down, MyHandsomeHusband came home and made me a sauce for this recipe that is knock down fabulous, people. (Happy to report that after spending a couple of days in the hospital my cute neighbor is home and doing great). Who can think of a great sauce, when there are real life emergencies present! Good heavens. The afternoon got swallowed up with the issue at hand and the sauce was forgotten. I made several attempts at the sauce-poured one version down the drain it was so terrible! Settled on another that was pretty good and then (and I am not pulling your leg, here) an ambulance and fire truck pulled into my elderly neighbors driveway and whisked the poor fellow away in the midst of a heart attack.

There ain’t nothin’ more attractive than a man willing to help with homework, seriously. He’s also really good at helping LittleTwinBoys complete their 2nd grade homework. He is the cook behind many recipes on this blog of mine, including the Hearty Spaghetti Sauce, Adam’s Bottled Cranberry Sauce and Asian Lettuce Wraps. I have mentioned to you all a time or two before, that MyHandsomeHusband is a fabulous “sauce” maker.
