moms sauce

I could get addicted to this blogging thing and end up with no life! I'm home after my day of playing with flowers and just replaced the candles on my dining room table. I will post a photo of what my table looks like because the most cost effect and bang for your buck decor is so simple. I bought 6 various height and style glass and crystal candle holders that I have scattered down the center of the table with 12 glass votive candles interspersed. You can pick up candlesticks at garage sales, ebay or any homegoods type of store!!!! I will post a photo tomorrow. I always made it a point, even if we had macaroni and cheese, when my son and I (or a house full of guests) sat for dinner it was always by candlelight, this was my rule. So no matter how shitty or stressed your day went you couldn't help but be soothed by a full belly, huge glass of red wine and the way candles made everything appear beautiful! I am cooking my mothers tomato sauce, it is a tradition in mine and my siblings homes. She brews a fresh batch every time my son comes home from college. It is the Irish version of sauce and I will post the recipe if she allows me, it's to die for.

I need to run so I can finish cooking for my boyfriend whom has the strength and courage to come to my house even after my dog Guinness (yes the Irish beer) attacked his mother and sent her to the ER for stitches in her arm. God I will let you know the details and my dog tendencies for aggression later in the week. I am going to post photos of my endearing puppy. I think I need a survey as to who thinks he looks like a beast and who thinks he looks like an angel!
