Every cook has his or her preferences for getting the job done, their special way of blending ingredients or spices, all the way down to what products they use to scour their kitchen sink.

  Have you every tried it with a little Worcestershire sauce, a dash of wine and sauteed garlic with butter and olive oil? Throw some dried oregano on top, too.

  Get a real bottle not the cooking wine. The rule is if you wouldn't offer it to someone in a glass then do not cook with it. Oh, saute some onions first only half-way and add them to the sauce five minutes before you're done. T/his way they aren't slimy and limp. They will still have the their integrity intact.

  LOL. It is sad how low our threshold for being happy with the effort is, isn't it?
  
  It goes both ways: He seems (and says he is) just as happy with hot dogs as with the work intensive version of enchiladas I make.
