Hi Ruth,

 RH> > I think most kids like the blandness of canned pasta when they're
 RH> young. As their taste buds mature, most of them outgrow their
 enjoyment of it as much and move on to better forms of pasta/sauce.
 Then there are those whose taste buds never mature................

 RH> Some people never outgrow their taste for kid food.

And that's why we have the proliferation of fast food places. A mature
taste enjoys a good burger, kid food taste is on the level of a McD's
burger.


 RH> > sauce the way his mom did and the way my mom did so we could decide
 RH> > which we liked better. My mom's version we make with macaroni and
 RH> call it "beef-a roni"; his mom's version is what we use as
 pasta sauce, pizza sauce, whatever we need a good marinara sauce for.

 RH> The former sounds a lot like "Dead 'orse"; the latter sounds like
 RH> food.

The former is ground beef, onion, seasonings, tomatoes and tomato paste.
It's much better than beef-a-roni out of a can, especially if you use
decent quality ingredients. I usually add peppers and mushrooms, things
my dad never cared for, so Mom didn't put them in. It can be good food
on its own--use whole wheat pasta and Parm-Reggiano cheese & the canned
stuff doesn't stand a chance.

 RH> Around here there's no hunting at all.  Unless  you're a cat of
 course.

 Cats usually are hired on for their mousekeeping abilities. They're
 RH> also good company. (G)

RH> I had one who wanted to hunt deer, a long time ago.  She wasn't a
bright cat.

I've yet to find one that has their act totally together. Most of them
have some smarts, some more than others.
