UDC793Well, I've learned the power of Twitter! On June 11, I posted a tweet about making marinara sauce. Since then, I've had a number of requests on exactly what the recipe is. Since it's a few more than 140 characters, I'll have to revert to old fashion blog technology to get out the recipe (though it will also be on Facebook!).
