Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Masks and Spaghetti Sauce


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  

This is some spaghetti sauce I made way back in the summer using 10 fresh tomatoes when they were plentiful.  You can alternatively use 2 cans of fresh tomatoes.  I added butter, olive oil, onions, garlic, bay leaf, basil, oregano, parsley, red pepper, salt, sugar, black pepper and simmered it for 2 hours, mashing with a potato masher.

It is up to you if you want to skin the tomatoes beforehand.

And here is the Venetian carnival mask ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") that I drew for the Art Date.

I have "old" tomatoes, too and will make sauce - thank you for the tip with the butter!
Love your mask, too. I really thought "people" will come up with other masks, glad nobody did so far!

Your tomato sauce looks delicious, Christine. I sometimes start a tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes, but I always remove the skins. Great Venetian carnival mask. I dearly love Venice, and I've seen many beautiful masks in shop windows there. Have a great weekend!

What an awesome Venetian Carnival mask ... I wouldn't even have thought of that, and yet as soon as I saw it, I thought Perfect!!! Love your recipe for Spaghettis sauce ... actually it is almost identical to how I make mine except I have never added red pepper. I think I may have to try that because I think it would give a real snap to the flavor. Yumm, Christine to all of it :)
