I'd add 2 lbs. ground beef (not lean beef) and 1lbs. ground veal, seasonings, butter milk, Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic and eggs to make the "BEST" meatballs.

Hi Joyful, have you tasted the different tomatoes right from the can? I find the DOP tomatoes sweeter and a little heavier.

Real San Marzano tomatoes are grown in the volcanic ash of Mount Vesuvius in Sicily, Italy. You can buy heirloom seeds and grow them anywhere but they will not be like the sweet meaty tomatoes from Italy.

I, too, like medium roast coffee. Dark roast has a taste of burnt coffee beans which I hate in hot coffee but like in iced coffee w/vanilla and whipped cream. Dunkin" Donuts is the best hot coffee. Wawa is second and I don't know how anyone drinks Starbucks hot coffee!!!!!

Puree the celery (by its self & don't be afraid to add too much) into a smooth mix & add it to your tuna along w/S&P. I use tuna packed in H2O and also add fresh chives, squeeze of lemon juice & mayo.Yummmmm!

By far the best tasting pepper I have ever had! Great balance of sweetness & heat. If you don't like hot peppers these may change your mind!

I know I don't have to refrigerate coconut oil & I don't. The question was "I wonder if I could chill the coconut oil & then grate it like I do w/butter when I'm making pie dough?"

When I make pie dough I freeze the butter first & then grate it on a cheese grater and add it to the flour. I wonder if I could chill the coconut oil & then grate it? By the way coconut pie dough would be great for coconut custard pie!

If your oven temp is correct 6 to 8 hrs. is way tooooooo long!!!! (@325 or 350 deg.)

Rao's MEATBALLS are awesome!!! Google it.
