“He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion… no, make that: he - he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yes. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.”

Bolognese.

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 14:37:12 -0400

I’ve been making loads of bolognese batches lately. It’s my little bro’s favorite and while some families send care packages of cookies to their children at college, we send batches of bolognese.

I’m italian (casalino) and can remember every sunday a batch of this brewing. We actually don’t call it bolognese, it’s really gravy. As with every italian family, our recipe is our family crest and badge of honor.

Casalino Gravy (Bolognese).

First find yourself some good meat. We go to Fleisher’s and are really spoiled to have that around the corner.

1 lb of ground beef
2 italian sausage links
2 cans of san marzano (san marzano is the best, do not skimp on this)
tomato paste
ground nutmeg
parm
cream
basil
garlic
small onion
dry red wine

Brown all meat in a the pan. When it’s cooked but still pink add about 4 chopped up garlic cloves and a chopped up small onion.

When it’s cooked through (another few minutes). Add in 2 cans of crushed San Marzanos, tablespoon of tomato paste, pinch of nutmeg, S&P, and a cup of red wine. Let flavors get familiar with each other for another 5 minutes.

Add a cup of fresh basil, 1/2 cup of parm, splash of cream and a little more red wine. Let simmer for 20 minutes and sit on stove with top on for another 20.

Voila (or ecco in italian). If you aren’t already full from tasting this goodness during the process find yourself some macaroni (as my mom says, I didn’t know the word pasta until I was 20) and dig in :)

damnit!

buzzfeed:

We’ve been discussing this in the office for a while, and just wanted to let everyone know that that Back To The Future clock screen floating around is fake.

For reference, these are the years visited in Back To The Future: 1885, 1955, 1985, 2015.
