I haven't had them, but when I inevitably get really drunk and fry up some oak leaves at two am, I'll let you know.

Just put together a slow cooker Bolognese sauce. Six hours from now will be heaven.

1 - 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 - 15 ounce can diced tomoatoes
1 - carrot diced
1 - celery stalk diced
1/2 - sweet onion diced
3 - cloves garlic chopped
2 - tsp Italian seasoning

Get all of that heating up in the slow cooker.

1/2 - pound ground beef
10 - oz diced pancetta

Brown it up and drain the fat. Now let it sit in the pan and get a little crispy. Add to the sauce.

1/4 - cup red wine.

Add it to the pan and scrape up all of the fond. Let it reduce by half and then add it to the sauce. Mix it all up, cover it, and then leave it the **** alone and let time and low heat do its magic.

Cook on high for about an hour and then turn it down to low for 5 hours. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't add salt or pepper until the very end. You need to let the flavors fully develop before you
can decide how much S&P you need. The pancetta will end up adding quite a bit of saltiness to it.

^^^^^

Meh. Bolognese really isn't meant for slow cookers.

There's style of pizza back in New England that's always been my favorite - Greek. Not a Greek pizza but a Greek style pizza. In 19 years I've yet to find it out here in SoCal. Stumbled across a recipe for it online and gave it a try. BAM!!!!! The three distinct attributes of killer Greek pizza is a crust that's crispy and crunchy on the outside but really light and fluffy on the inside, a tangy sauce with a strong oregano flavor, and a mix of cheeses that melt golden brown but stay stringy. This recipe NAILS it.

Looks very tasty. I like to make a margarita pizza using fresh mozzarella, basil, super thinly sliced tomatoes, and the premade dough they have at trader joes (not as expensive as Von, Albertsons, and Ralph will try to tell you).
