My husband sees a bright spot to this whole pandemic. As a scientist, he s all too aware of the destruction this disease inflicts on the human body; however, he likes having his teacher wife home and loves that I'm cooking more.

Of course, we go to the grocery in the kind of protective gear you used to wear when you dealt with hazardous material. We calculate what we will need for a week or two but are careful not to hoard. (I, personally, hope these people holding all the toilet tissue find their places in hell!) What to cook? When should we support local businesses by buying takeout? I'm sharing a recipe today for my meat sauce.

Ingredients:
1. shallots
2. onion
3. Ground meat
4. Green bell pepper
5. Butter
6. Oregano
7. Bay leaf
8. Salt
9. Pepper
10. Parsley (Hubby doesn't like this; some do)
11. Thyme

How to prepare;
1. Sauté shallots, onion, and bell pepper until brown.
2. Add ground meat and cook until the pink is gone.
3. Add tomato paste (small can)
4. Fill the can and add about 7 cans of water to the pot.
5. Add oregano, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme
6. Stir and simmer until done, approximately one hour or 1 1/2 hour.
