I'm certainly interested about anything regarding food, and you share it so well. I can't get enough recipes and the stories that go with the directions. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Faith Williams
I can almost smell the deliciousness of your words. Almost. A FanStory Cookbook sounds interesting, and I would be interested in reading the stories/recipes. I'm always looking for good recipes. What pasta did you decide on for the sauce?

What a great idea-I'm sure many Fanstorians would appreciate that.
I like your laid back style of writing and the joy imbued into your words as the joy of cooking and enjoying fine food, good music and your own company combine like fine wine.

Even though you don?t like pasta (picking it out of minestrone? how could you?) I still consider you a friend!
Cheers, my friend.

Comment from w.j.debi
This sounds so good. Thank you for including the recipe. I too enjoy having the house to myself and eating what I want. But, I also like having other people around most of the time. A few days alone? Savor the time and the food. Che buono!

I enjoy the solitude, but only for a few days, until the boss comes back home!
Thanks for reading and constant support?

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi John, not since my dad have I seen or heard anyone start their sauce with carrot, celery, and onion. BTW, he was not Italian but Russian, and one damn great cook. I've also not heard of anyone using Mortadella in their sauce. Will tell my sister-in-law. She loves Mortadella.
I liked your choice of Music. I can understand the joy of being home alone and having the house to yourself.
Of note:
Once they were satisfied, I poured myself a cup of hot coffee and made myself breakfast; a toasted English muffin with peanut butter and jelly on one half, butter and cinnamon on the other.
(Lol. I do stuff like this too--use different toppings on bread, muffins, etc. Small suggestion:
a cup of "hot" coffee. J, I think that you could eliminate hot because it's implied.
Also: and made "myself" breakfast. I think that you could eliminate "myself" because you said it earlier in the same sentence--redundant.)
A fun story that made me smile. Enjoy having the house to yourself, but be sure to leave it clean and tidy for when Debbie returns. Well done. M

Margaret,
Sorry for the late response. I was off work and spent the day outside,
Mowing, planting, watering, getting dirt under my nails, playing with the puppies and a dr appointment.
House is in good shape for the bosses return.
Thank you for reading and your continued support!

When my neighbor use to go away, her husband would have to clean up the KFC boxes. M
Comment from Wendy G
That would definitely be interesting - and different, and I be interested to read your stories. The only problem I had with this one is that you stopped too soon - I wanted to know how you solved your three problems. Did you eat early? Did you make some bread? And what pasta did you use? Your dishes sound mouth-watering. Well done. Seconds please!

I stoped there for the suspense ? but I bought an artisanal style Italian bread, waited yet had an early dinner and cooked mezzi-rigatoni which this tube like pasta held some of the chunkiness of the sauce.
Tonight I?ll have gnocchi with the sauce? can?t wait and it?s only 4am? yikes!
Cheers,
John
