I was mad at Hannah also for not telling Sandy her part in the food fiasco. 

 

Yup. Hannah was a snake and you could tell she knew it. She completely snowed Kiko.

Marietta I'm curious what tomato paste do you use? I like "Contadina" for it's taste and richness. I'll also throw in a can of diced garlic and onion tomatoes.

This time was tuttorosa(spelling) I prefer Contadina as that is what my mom preferred.  I use purée because my father-in-law got me hooked.  His father was a chef in Manhattan.  Can’t go wrong with a can of garlic and onions!  I made meatballs and put in sausage and pork neckbones, and now cooking it for at least four hours.

Do you know why? And you can call me Bonnie.😉

 

Hi Bonnie!  Yes, it's state regulated, as far as we know.   Jim thinks we're the only state that has this regulation.  I'm Maryann, Bonnie!😊

I'm curious about how the "chef" prepared the rice.  I'm guessing it soaks up the juices from the chicken but at what point does it get added to the pan?  I would imagine additional broth would be needed. Please share.🙂

You aren’t far off the mark.  The Recipe is found at the link below.

Both my mother and sister in NY have NEVER pumped their own gas.  That said I have not done it in many, many years.  I told Dan once he goes it's an electric car for me I guess😇

 

I not only pump my own fuel for my little SUV, but I do all the fill ups for the "land yacht".  While I am doing the fill, Bucky is trying to clean the huge flat front windshield of bugs.  Working together, it gets the job done faster.  I do get some strange looks from some of the "macho men" at the station though.  😄

I do love frog legs, but refused everything else. I remember my dad not being able to eat Muskrat because of the smell.

 

No, would never consider Muskrat...though I did try Frog Legs once.  It was "Ok".  Reminded me of dark meat chicken...why does everything "taste like chicken"?  😉

Oregon is the other state that you can not pump your own gas.

Anytime is  good to make sauce and meatballs for me. Extra garlic for me please.

To bad we are not neighbors.  I grew garlic for the first time and just harvested 190 bulbs.  Before growing my own I had never heard of garlic scapes.  Nice treat before the garlic is fully grown.

So happy to hear he is doing well.  Is he having knee surgery on Staten Island? I had a great orthopedist for my hip.

Marietta

 

No, he's going to have it done here in New Jersey.  He's waiting to hear from the surgeon for a date.  He's gotten the go-ahead from his cardiologist, and his 911 lung doctor.  We only go back to the Island for our awesome dentist, and Jim's cardiologist.

Thanks!  Actually house is too big for me...I am more of a small house/cottage/cabin girl.  But it is a nice place to hang for the next four weeks!  🙂

Thanks!  Right now the biggest thing I love about this house is the A/C!  Record heat out there, but will cool down again in day or two.  🙂
