Personal Notes:
On Basil: Half a normal dried spice bottle- McKormick, Spice Classic, etc. I'm sure you can make the red sauce with fresh tomatoes, or canned--and use sauce too. Just cook it down and it will cook the browned meatballs through. Bill was married to Pat and full-on Italian, a rarity in Escanaba! They moved to Esky from Sault ste. Marie.--ed.
