I face a tricky blog balance. Time is short. Should I read friends' posts? Or should I write my own? What's the best use of my limited time? Should I comment to support my friends? Or should I skip posting altogether? This question has been on my mind lately.
Recipes are a similar challenge. I don't have time for a full cook-shoot-post cycle. My virtual motto is fewer recipes, done well. Is this the right approach? Maybe more recipes are better, even if they are less detailed.
Today's recipe came from these thoughts. My quick bolognese uses ground beef and store-bought sauce. Barilla, Dolmio, or Heinz work fine. It's fast and tasty. But cravings change everything.
Sometimes I want amazing flavor, not just "good." That's when I make real bolognese. I use celery, herbs, and red wine. Don't be stingy with the wine. Use a glass for every 500 g of tomatoes. It makes a big difference.
