That's either got sumpthin' to do with you being a n instructor for the home-made bomb special task force thingy wotever and I should be scared...

... or it's sumpthin' weirdly sexual and I should be insulted (or, sayin' "Hubba hubba!").

I hope that ain't a sauce recipe 'cause the gathering point of the party is gonna be around a humongous bonfire.

Anyways . . . ain't no such animal. Well, in N.J. maybe, but not in, you
know, the civilized world. So, here's a good basic sauce recipe:

1. Obtain some high quality tomato seeds

Um . . . when did you say the party starts?

Pepper

garl . . . nevermind
Disposable alimin . . . alimun . . . tinfoil pan
Good Italian or French bread (fly to NY to obtain same)

Borrow large sauce pan.
Add a tbls or two of olive oil to borrowed sauce pan.
Put borrowed sauce pan over med heat on stove (the big thing with round hot things on it, in the kitchen (room with refrigerator, sink and odd smell you can't seem to locate).
Add chop meat and brown
Borrow can opener and instructions for use.
Open cans of crushed tomatoes and empty into borrowed large sauce pan.
Add Italian seasonings and salt to taste
Turn up heat to bring to light boil for a minute or three.
Lower heat to low and cover.
Simmer til ziti is done.
