We were getting back from running errands and a lady in a nearby RV ran over to us.  “OH!” she said, “was hoping that I’d catch you.  We were at the same RV park as you a few days ago and as we walked by we could smell the most delicious dinner being cooked!  Can you share the recipe with us?”

Ok, I thought, what was I cooking a few days ago?  I hadn’t cooked too much lately as we’d been doing lengthy day trips while at Lone Pine – so it had to be spaghetti.  I told her I make spaghetti from scratch rather than dump in canned spaghetti sauce with some noodles.  I saute onions, green peppers and garlic, put in a chicken sausage to brown, then add mushrooms, olives, artichoke hearts and plenty of oregano.  I make the sauce by mixing 1 part tomato paste and 2 parts marsala wine (a cooking wine) and stir that in just enough to get it heated up.  Yum!
