Home Made Tomato Sauce

I personally don't like using tomato sauce out the jar. I would rather make my own, where I can control what goes in it, and what doesn't. Here is the recipe that I use.
As always remember: tsp = teaspoon

Ingredients:
3 Large tomatoes cubed
1/4 Vidalia onion sliced
1 tsp salt (totally optional)
2 tsp black pepper
4 tsp oil of your choice (anything is good except pressed olive oil)
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp of Parsley
1/2 cup water

Step One:
Place a large frying on low heat, adding your oil and onions to the pan
Add the 1/2 the salt to the onions to help them sweat.This should take 3-4 minutes.
Step Two:
Place your tomatoes in the pan with half the black pepper, all of the oregano, and the rest of the salt.
Cook the tomatoes on low heat, covered with a lid for 20-25 minutes. About half way though the cooking add your 1/2 cup of water. This keeps your sauce from turning into a paste. Stir every few minutes so that nothing sticks.
Step Three:
When the tomatoes are completely cooked out, add your parsley and the rest of your black pepper.

Use this sauce with anything that you would use the jar stuff for.

Smile To My Face - Poem

So, you broke our plans again today,

Kept me waiting around,

Expecting me to stay?

What do I look like?

A fool to you?

Please, I got things to do.

What really made me mad,

Was the reason you had.

How could you think I'd believe,

That bullshit ideal?

I mean, how could you smile to my face,

With that lie on your lips,

Expecting me not know,

That something was amiss?

This gonna be the last time,

And this gonna be the last rhyme,

That I waste on you,

That I waste on "we",

'Cuz the "we" we had,

Died with the last lie you said,

So I guess this's the end,

'Cuz I'm out of words,

And I'm out time,

And I'm out here,

And my bags are packed,

And there's my cab,

And here's the key,

Please forward my mail,

And I'm done talking to you.

Fear

This is the first Chapter of a book I am writing right now. Tell me what you think.


Fear

Chapter One

Her footsteps echoed in the dank, empty hallway of the basement in the Charger City Asylum. They sounded loud to her ears.  It was disconcerting only being able to hear her footsteps and her breath. From the man beside her though, nothing. She couldn’t hear his breath, or his footsteps. It was like he wasn’t there.
“How long has she been here? In the Asylum I mean,” she asked.
“She’s been here since she was six. About fourteen years now.” He told her without looking at her, or slowing down.
“That’s a long time for a person to be underground.”
“She wasn’t here for all fourteen years. She was moved down here five years ago when she became very violent towards the other patients.”
“What set Cy Anna off?”
“Honestly Mrs. Gorment, we don’t know.”
She looked at the man walking beside her. She couldn’t believe this man was running the Asylum.  He looked like he spent his days on some beach, surfing or something. He honestly didn’t look a day over 25.  She wondered what he was doing in this place that stank of desperation, hatred and sadness. She shook her head. It wasn’t her place to question. Her job was to get the girl to agree to help her government.
When they rounded a corner she began to hear loud pounding music. She looked at the man beside her with a question on the tip of her tongue.
“We give her music to keep her calm. She is fine with technology, she just doesn’t like people, or having any kind of human contact,” he told her as he kept walking like that was something they normally did for insane people.
Marrissa didn’t think that Cy Anna was insane though, just traumatized. Who wouldn’t be after witnessing their entire family get slaughtered in front of them by the bastards who had invaded earth 20 years ago. Marrissa shuddered with rage just thinking about it.
The Maaran Guta had invaded Earth 50 years ago and had brought the world to its knees. At first they came “ in peace”, but that façade didn’t last long. They wanted control of Earth and all her natural recourses, something their home planet of Maara Guta lacked.
When Earth didn’t bow to their demands, they started calling in their troops to destroy everything. They didn’t count on Humans being as cunning as they were. The Humans fought back.
They fought long and hard. In the end the Earth had suffered major casualties, but Maara Guta had suffered more. Their armies were wiped out, and what little resources they had left on their planet were depleted supporting their invasion.
They called a cease fire and eventually worked out a peace treaty of sorts with Earth.
If they ever attacked Earth again, their planet and it’s inhabitants would be destroyed.  In return, because Humans are not monsters, many were allowed to come and go from Earth under strict conditions.
Thought Earth had suffered severe casualties the Maara Guta did have it worse. Samples of many of the vegetation on Earth were sent to Maara Guta so that they could cultivate produce to support its people.
Humans were being too nice in Marrissa’s opinion, and she wasn’t alone in her thoughts.
“We are here,” Dr. Aaron Dumar told her as he stopped in front of a door paint completely black. Marrissa’s teeth were chattering because of the sound waves coming out the door of Cy Anna’s room.
Instead of knocking on Cy Anna’s door Dr. Dumar pressed his hand to a panel beside the door, that Marrissa had not noticed. The second his hand hit the door, the music stopped. They waited a moment, then the door was opened by something very unexpected.

My first post OMG! It's a recipe.

Easiest Salt Fish Dish to make in your life.

Ingredients:
teaspoon = tsp
2 packages of boneless salted cod
1 large Vidalia Onion
2 large tomatoes
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/3 a packet of Sason seasoning ( can be found in your Spanish section of your local food store)
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp parsley
1/4 cup of vegetable oil

Step One:
 In a large pan place both packages of salted cod in 5-6 cups of water. Place on high heat until the water starts to boil. Repeat this step 4 times, or until you can just taste the salt in the salted cod. Once the salt is mostly gone, remove the fish the from water and stove and set aside.
Step Two:
 In a large frying pan add all the vegetable oil and place on medium heat.
Step Three:
 Cut Onion into long strips and place into heated frying pan for 4 minutes. Add salt and constantly stir. You are sweating the onions.
Step Four:
 Cut up both tomatoes into cubes, place the cubed tomatoes in the frying pan with the onions and cook for 7-8 minutes or until the skin of the tomatoes fall away, and meat becomes mostly mush.
Step Five:
 Break apart the fish into bite sized pieces and place in the frying pan. Add your black pepper, Sason, paprika, oregano, and parsley and let cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the tomatoes are completely mush.

You can serve this as Breakfast with fried dumplings, for lunch with yam, green banana, and cooked dumplings (recipe to be given at a later date), or for dinner with white rice.
