I don't know if you can tell, but I made way too much sauce and had to eat quite a bit without pasta. The good thing about this, though, is that eating the sauce plain is not a chore unlike other sauces such as garlic based ones which are enjoyably edible only with other foods.
On a side note, most of my blog's viewership comes from the United States, so I decided to "celebrate" this with an upside down flag!
