The Sunday Sauce: Scenes from The Soul Kitchen
Back in August I posted about a family tradition: the Sunday Sauce. Each Sunday my old man would make a homemade pasta sauce. There is lots of Italian blood running through both sides of my family. Have a read of that post to find about more about the tradition if you like.
Today is Sunday and I needed the plasma. I cooked up a batch of sauce and took a few snaps. As always, the key ingredient was used: music. Nothing like spending an hour or so making sauce with good rhythms and good blues playing in the background.
I have an iTunes playlist I created that I use as the soundtrack to my cooking; its called, 'Blues With a Feeling". It is a great blend of Blues, Gospel, Country, Soul and R&B...all old, old school. Just the way I like it.
A little bit of garlic, a little bit of oregano, a little bit of Booker T. & the MGs, a little bit of Waylon Jennings and a heathy dose of Bettye Lavette.
Perfect
p.s. I made enough for everyone. Come over if you want. Bring wine.
(If you've never heard this Bettye LaVatte song...LISTEN NOW! The Drive-By Truckers are backing her up)
