What's on your menu today?

Yesterday I had a craving for meat sauce that you would put on
hotdogs. I love a good dog with the works, and their is a place
about an hour from me that I've been going to since I was a
little bitty girl, the meat sauce recipe is a family secret and
no one has even an inkling to how it is made ... it's so
secretive the owner passed the recipe to only "one" of his sons
who now runs the place, he makes all the seasoning mix privately
and measures it out for the cooks. I found a recipe on
Allrecipes and gave it a try, it looked perfect, it was the
right consistency, and I thought to myself, wow, this could be
it. I cooked up my hotdog and added a ladle full of sauce, a
bit of raw onion and a squirt of mustard and took a bite. OH NO
... it wasn't edible, it was so salty I thought I had taken a
sip of ocean water. I was so sad, it all looked right, so I
thought for sure if was going to taste perfect, and maybe a
tweek or two would make it like my favorite sauce at Saints.
Three hours of prep and cooking, 3 pounds of ground beef, 2
green peppers, 2 onions and numerous amounts of spice ... in the
trash. I almost went out for another 3 pounds of ground beef
today to try again, but I felt a bit beaten down, so I'll wait
and give it a try next week. I've found another recipe I want
to try that is a knock off from another old favorite of mine
here in CT. ... but I have to be in the mood, so it's printed
out and waiting for the right day.
Tonight I'm making some Chicken Cutlets in Panko and seasoning,
served with a side of angel hair pasta.
So ... whats going to be on your dinner plates tonight?

Lots of yumminess in your kitchens ladies ... sure wish I could
get it together and cook things that we love, but it seems it's
all left me now that my husband is gone. I cook, we eat a plate
or two and the rest usually goes in the trash. I need to
relearn cooking for just the two of us, smaller quantities and
healthier food.
