It's Friday, and it's time for a POP QUIZ!!! Pencils out...eyes on your own paper...
Relax, kids. This one is not for credit. All we want to know is: how do you set the table for a dinner party? Ever wonder if you are doing it correctly? Let the Dean show you how it's done, three different ways.
Marcello's tomato sauce came in a jar.
Sofia made hers the Academy's way.
All right, technically, this recipe for Tomato Sauce takes Ten Minutes to make, plus 45 to cook while you check something else off the list. But 45 minutes is positively nothing in kitchen years. Just ask our trusty mascot & dog-bud Teddy. He's 106 but feels like he's seven (until it comes to hiking up the five flights of Academy stairs...)
A perfect homemade tomato sauce is easier than you think, and tastes 1,000,000x better than anything you can find at the supermarket.
Listen folks, it's hot. The only good thing about being in the Carolina Lowcountry this time of year are the TOMATOES!!! Only, we're tired of salads and sandwiches. Aren't you? Take ten minutes out of your afternoon, whip up this little Stock Pot delicacy, and let it simmer.
No need to tend. Set the table! Make some croutons! Make yourself a martini. Put on some mambo music. Take a bath. Oh yeah, make some pasta. Top it with Sauce, maybe some basil if yours survived the heat. Everything is going to be okay, babies. Mangia!
OK, OK, 4 ingredients if you count salt.
Sorry to drill it home but Labor Day weekend has arrived (yes, it officially starts Friday AM, class dismissed!) and Summer is packing her bags while Fall cha cha's in the back door.
But it's still hot as Hades in Charleston, and the rain seems like it might wash us all to sea. Your life raft: a few friends/neighbors, a sassy hat, and a pitcher of margaritas you can make faster than you can say, "Siri, find me a Mariachi Band." Sassy hat optional. Mariachi band...strongly encouraged.
It only takes FIVE minutes and THREE ingredients (plus salt) to make ONE pitcher of margaritas.
Give that old Summer feeling a proper farewell.
XOXO, the Deans
P.S. Pro. Tip #1:
P.P.S. Pro. Tip #2: Do not drink the pitcher all by yourself. One margarita usually does the trick, but two could have you feeling ten feet tall, bulletproof, and wild as a hornet's nest. That's what happened to a friend of ours one time, anyway...
