I made sauce today also. With Italian sauage. I do mine in the slow cooker so there's little chance of it burning. Two big cans of puree, garlic, onion, pepper, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme. Hit it with the immersion blender to smooth it out. Add the sausage, some water and 1 TBS sugar.

I read almost exclusively mysteries (mostly cozy mysteries), although I did reread an Andy Rooney compilation this year. I didn't keep track at the beginning, but I'm defintely over 60 books for the yr. I read for about an hour each night before settling down.

One of our cats used to open the bedroom door by turning the handle. He's been a PITA since the day we got him, but at least he's stopped doing that. Our other cat is pretty much the epitome of what a cat should be, except he doesn't like to be held, or sit on your lap.

It's been abundantly clear for the past 10 years that all that needs to be done is to praise him just a bit, and he'll do pretty much wahtever you ask. So fragile and shallow.

Back in college, there was a guy who was obsessed with R.E.M. He didn't live in my dorm, but he was friends with one of the guys in my suite, so he was there all the time, and he was always playing R.E.M. records (this was back before CDs were really a thing).
