Actually I think the implication is that you teach Science at Hofstra.

I've never been more disappointed with an AW thread.  

Prego and Ragu?  WTF?  you might as well pour a pack of fun dip into a can of tomatoes.  I'm pretty sure it's the jarred version of buddy the elf's recipe.  

make this.  it's easy.

if you have to go jarred, the one Phil mentioned is a solid call or spend the extra $5 on Rao's (which is great on it's own without additions).  The Classico Riserva Marinara is another solid choice as a base.  It has actual tomato flavor and won't give you a cavity.  

and yes @yk9001, I am a sauce snob.  Life's too short to eat shitty food.

Hey, I don't mind beer or vodka or wine or sauce snobs.  Just don't want to hear from them. Most pretentious bores going.

 

And I am convinced that the spirits snobs can't tell Titos from Kirkland in a blind taste test.

Rao's Diavolo sauce is awesome.  Do a 50/50 mix with the Rao's Marinara is you can't handle the heat.   That's what I do when my wife is home.  If it's just me and my kids we use the Diavolo sauce and add the Four Pepper Blend from Flat Iron Pepper Co (habanero, ghost, jalapeno and arbol flakes) to kick it up.  But we add that to nearly everything we eat.

TBH Tito's isn't the best vodka, it's actually kinda cheap.

This /\/\/\ is exactly my point about the boring snobs.

Titos finished 3rd in this ranking

Is one of the best in this ranking

But Mr. Vodka snob is going to tell you it is "cheap".

 

Again, I could pour a bunch of top vodkas and the top house pour, and none of you snobs could tell the difference.

As long as you kept pouring, I bet they wouldn't care.

So using sauce from a jar is cheating?

Bitchy, but I approve.

If you create a thread in the baseball news section and its supposed to be comedy, it better deliver.  This thing was dead on arrival with a hackneyed Scioscia pasta take.

Seemed appropriate for the thread content.

Like you mentioned, if you come here doing a thread like this it needs to deliver or us assholes eat you alive.

Side note, I’m like Doc and like good shit and it’s worth the extra money.

I’m not a vodka snob (I tend to go with Stoli these days), but I can tell the difference in vodkas and I’m also the asshole that generally orders Tito’s. The main thing is it’s corn based, so I don’t get the allergy issues the next day like one would get with a wheat or grain based vodka.

Is that all you got? "Go beat off again"? I post far more serious shit here than people realize but my jokes are all people care about.

You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. Yeah, you're right. I make stupid jokes too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you....but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me, Yk. I'm not changing. I like...I like me. Many other posters here like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.
