  Spaghetti  Meat Sauce
  
  Makes about 8 cups

  Ingredients:

   1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 large yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
   6 to 8 cloves garlic, chopped fine  5 or 6 meaty pork neck bones 
   1 pound ground beef/1 pound ground porkSalt to taste
   4 bay leaves1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano3/4 cup white wine
   2 35-ounce cans Italian plum tomatoes, passed through a food mill
   1/2 cup tomato paste  Crushed red pepper 

   Directions:

In a heavy, 4 to 5-quart pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add 
the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until the onion is wilted, about 
4 minutes.Add the pork bones and cook turning, until lightly browned on 
all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the ground beef and pork and season 
lightly with salt. Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the meat 
changes color and the  water it gives off is boiled away, about 10 minutes.


Continue cooking until the meat is browned about 5 minutes. Add the 
bayleaves and oregano and stir 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil 
and boil until almost completely evaporated. Add the tomatoes and tomato 
paste,  stirring to dissolve the tomato paste. Season lightly with salt. 
Bring to a boil,adjust the heat to a lively simmer and cook, uncovered, 
stirring often, 2 to 3 hours (the longer the better). Add water, about 
1/2 cup at a time, as necessary to maintain the level of liquid. Adjust 
the seasoning as necessary.

  Can you locate the receipe for Outback's fat-free tangy tomato 
  salad dressing.

Hello Jimmy,

These don't say "fat free", and the first one is definitely not, since it has olive oil, but they're all that I could find. Is ketchup fat free?

Hmmmmm.... although.... Didn't they call King Kong that just before he escaped, grabbed Fay Wray and climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and was shot off by those airplanes? "...It was beauty that killed the beast..." One of my favorite old movies, sorry.

Umm... Swans Down coconut cake... See if it's one of those below.
