We have a ton of pasta in the house. Gary's homemade stuff doesn't last very long before it goes bad, plus a lot of store-bought pasta. Gary made a huge pot of sauce with tons of fresh oregano, peppers and basil. Then peoples started showing up to give homage to our newest family member. It worked out great, Maggie got a ton of attention and the guests left with full stomachs. Gary isn't saying the sauce was great ... but, everybody had seconds. Gary also made some ice cream ... it tasted like a triple chocolate cake.
