The fight against evil doesn't stop because there's a bit of fog on the road, making Lake Whitney look like a scene from an Arthurian legend. That's why you have to climb in your truck and brave the fog of war on the weather to get to Mass.
Also, like any soldier, you need to eat right in order to take the fight to the enemy, so I'm grateful for all the spaghetti suggestions and offer the following update.

| I like everything about this safe space. |
One senior member of the intelligence community sent in this helpful tip: "You might want to add some gunpowder for flavor." Good call, I will. An art philosopher recommended "a pinch of sugar" to reduce acidity and Marmite as a flavor enhancer. Well said, I'll take that as an imperative! Then a well known nature theologian said "add some shrooms!" Alright, I will.
Another pundit again told me to add some ginger nutmeg and a bit of chili powder to the sauce "because that's the way the Italians do it." Right on, I'm up for it.

| Some Italian Handgun |
Then there's the gun. Several firearms specialists said "no, a handgun is not 'optional'," you need it to "defend your dinner." OK, I'm convinced. Logic.

So thank you for the helpful suggestions. The quest for the perfect Spaghetti Bolognese continues.
God bless,
LSP
I'm watching the Dallas v Green Bay game on TV this Sunday afternoon, wishing that I was eating a plate of LSP spaghetti.
ReplyDeleteOk, all kidding aside, the chili powder and sugar (a pinch) are all an integral part of the LL spaghetti recipe. I don't add gunpowder (usually).
Lee Enfield just propped up against the wall.....By God I love this country!
ReplyDeleteDuring the War of Northern Aggression, the soldiers of the Texas Confederacy went into the field with weapons that fired black powder. Absent other seasoning, the black powder provided "salt" for meat cooked over a camp fire. The DLC fires smokeless powder but if the crap hits the fan and they need to revert to home-made black powder to operate their artillery, I expect that they will season their meat in that same way when operating away from the compound.
ReplyDeleteLOL "senior" member of the intelligence community...
ReplyDeleteOk, now to my serious comment about the spaghetti,
It is not my place to tell you the proper method for making spaghetti, BUT
What the heck are you doing buying downer cow meat from Walmart?
Gather your flock together and pool your funds and buy a fed right FFA or 4-H project steer at the county fair. Do it in the name of all that is Holy, and tax deductible. Have a local plant processes it, and use the hamburger in your spaghetti,
oh, use American garlic, onion, tomatoes, sea salt, and pepper, too.
Now you have supported your local kids, families, businesses, American farmers and made the most blessed good spaghetti ever!
PS: a touch of white wine and a jar of store bought pasta sauce in your homemade sauce helps.
ReplyDeleteLL, I think we should be ready. Thanks for the warning order. And I'm taking up the chili/sugar advice too.
ReplyDeleteDiffer, it certainly has its good points!
ReplyDeleteBrig, those are very sensible suggestions and, interestingly enough, had that opportunity in Alberta.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little grated nutmeg, not ginger!
ReplyDeleteUm, I think you better do as Brig says, Padre. It does not seem optional. Besides, I have experience raising funds for clergy, and I think the flock will understand. Beef is nothing to take lightly. Beef lives matter. Also, arguably, beef IS life. Also, arguably, I may be drunk. Sorry...
ReplyDeleteI do believe that you will now become a well armed spaghetti master.
ReplyDeletePaladin of Pasta Pastor!
ReplyDeleteDon LSP - The God- Father! Heh!
Sorry Anonymous. Corrected...
ReplyDeleteYes, Grunt. Beef is KEY. And, as a great saint once said, Feasting on Sunday is OK!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jules, for the titles. I see a bright future ahead for the, er, Paladin of Pasta...
ReplyDeleteLSP - I keep telling you that you need your own YouTube channel - "Cooking with LSP". You'd end up getting invited onto one of those cooking shows on the cooking channel and we could watch you demolish your opposition. A little advertising will go a long way toward the "spirit and spatula" show that it will turn out to be. You'd have an agent, a publicist, a manager, a bodyguard, a mansion behind a high wall in Malibu, and a Rolls Royce to tool around in. You'd hobnob with big eaters like Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Moore, and Oprah. You'd have guests on your show like George Clooney, Cher and Ellen Degenerate. It's a big vision. The Brits would knight you and we'd all have to call you "Sir LSP".
ReplyDeleteLL, I like the "K" and the mansion. I think these are important.
ReplyDeleteDo they have to go along with Rosie, Moore and Oprah, and Clooney, Cher and Ellen?
NO! This is a "hellscape."
