Nice work.  This forum makes you want to excel at your ambitions that you didn't even realize you had!

 

[WarrantMan]

Wow!!! That is culinary prowess if ever there was. Happy birthday indeed!!!

 

[D3monic]

Thanks, I really need to write down what I put in that sauce because it was one the best spaghetti sauces i've had. The 6 hour simmer probably helped too. 

 

[D3monic]

Oh wait, it had meat in it. Don't want to offend any italian americans. "Gravy"

 

[t0mato]

That's a f'ing meal if I've ever seen one. Great job.

Especially with the ravioli.

But glad you are paying atention. Hope the wife enjoyed her meal, you did a great job. So many different ways and techniques to make gravy, or a meatless sauce. I hope you made enough for leftovers. It freezes really well for quick meals. Happy Birthday to Mrs D3.

She texted and said it was still really good microwaved. I got about 1/2 pint of gravy left. Might end up freezing some of it.

We generally make bigger batches, becareful with the amount of meat you use if you go bigger. In our experieces you do not need to double the meat just because you doubled the tomatoes. Sometimes too much meat will overpower the flavor. Then again, it is all subjective.

 

[D3monic]

Correction 2 pints, 1/2 one those big tall ball jars

 

[D3monic]

I used 1 lb of hamburger well seasoned and 1/3 lb ground pork that was left from the ravioli. Yellow onion, garlic and portobello carmelized in a pan and deglazed with red wine.

Brown sugar, bay leaves, red wine, cherry smoked el Scorponero, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, ... crap already starting to forget. Need to write it down

 

[Tinnie]

Damn D3!!

Damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn

 

[Sizzle Lips]

Fantastic looking meal....well done

 

[D3monic]

Thanks guys, she was supposed to go to her moms today for her official bday. Her mom is sick and cancelled on her. She was really depressed about it yesterday because her gram makes her chocolate cake with homemade whipcream ect. So when I got off work this morning I picked up some tulips (her fav flower) sea salt and caramel chocolates, a sappy bday card (with $100 bill in it) and some prime filet loins. 
 

 

 

 

 
I baked her a chocolate cake and made homemade whipped cream for it like she wanted. First time baking a cake. I think it turned out pretty good. 
 

 

 

[Muckyai]

Awesome job D3. Good move not trying to put 36 candles on that cake too.

 

[texas blues]

Don't let my dear sweet wife see this.
 
 
Have mercy!
