Gosh, the house smells wonderful. I asked my husband what he wanted
for dinner and got the usual 'I don't know, whatever you want'
I thawed a pound of ground beef just in case I either did or didn't
get inspired. I was looking for something easy that didn't take too
many pots and pans.
Pasta sounded good, Red sauce is easy. Dinner solved.
