Personal Notes:
OK, when Mom made this it was always delicious. Dad always teased her by saying that she should open a "spaghetti house"! Now, these are the ingredients as she recalled, but keep in mind, she never measured. That is why there are not amounts written beside all ingredients. And, that is why ingredients like water, ketchup, tomato paste, etc. are so vague. She just added these as she "thought it needed it", I think, by the looks of the sauce. I'm not sure why, but if I recall, her sauce always tasted about the same. This one will take an acquired skill starting with the old "hit and miss" method. I had to include it into my book...I just had to...you understand! If you can perfect the actual ingredient list, please share!
