Spaghetti Bloggernese
Although we miss being in Canada very much, one of the great things of being back in the UK is being able to cook our favourite meals just the way we like them. Last week with Jenny and Steve we had Kashmiri Lamb, yesterday we had Spaghetti Bolognese, and today we had Chicken Curry, making three of my all time favourite dishes - YUM!!
Apparently Spag Bol was a favourite of mine even from days of being a baby in a high chair - I'd attack it like I hadn't eaten in weeks. I always looked forward to Saturdays when Rae (my sister) and I would go swimming and then come back to a healthy meal of Spag Bol. Probably one of the grossest things I have done is watch intestinal surgery while eating Spag Bol. When I'm feeling off colour, it's Spag Bol that I crave - many a time it has rescued me from feeling blue. Spag Bol is a food from heaven and I've just realised that it shares my initials (I don't have a middle name - my parents thought Stephen Belleguelle was long enough already) The funny thing is that my Dad loves it too - I obviously got his genes for that one - good one Dad :-)
One thing about SB is that it's MY dish, I make it and Heather is my assistant. This is the only dish where things are this way round and this is the way it has to be. I was passed the recipe by my Mum and although Heather has tried, she just doesn't do it as well as me. I don't think I'm too full of pride here, after all it is the only thing I cook better than H, but I do make a mean SB.
So how do I do it - well I take Mum's recipe, modify it a little, add a couple of other special ingredients and there you have it. If there's enough demand in the comments I may put the full recipe on a future posting, but for now you'll just have to make do with a picture. Enjoy!!
Yumm, nothing quite like it!

I would have to agree that your spag bol is pretty good! The unexperienced consumers might need to wear old clothes or a drop cloth though because it can be kind of messy. You didn't mention the mess factor of an amatuer eater!

Tanys, if I get enough demand, I'll post it on my blog. I haven't quite decided what sufficient demand is yet, so I may yet cave in to the popular demand of 1. :-)
Jenny, thanks for the compliment! And sorry for omitting that rather important information. Having been brought up on eating spag bol, I forget how messy it can get to those less familiar with eating it - Heather point blank refuses to order it in a restaurant! A good sauce, in my opinion, is reasonably thick so it doesn't generate so much of a problem - a really wet sauce just splashes around everywhere - although it could be great fun for a party game :-)

mmmmmm spag bol, I love my moms veggie version! lol but I have to say I'm more of a lasagne girl tbh. I will eat ANY type of Lasagne, seriously I will even eat meat lasagne if you neglect to tell me its got meat in it lol. It all tastes the same after all. Just don't put fish in it, that spoils it completly...apart from anything I think I have a fish allergy :S
*drool* your spag bol is making me hungry Stevie boy!
Please post recipeeee!
Blessings

It's 9am here...and eventhough it's only breakfast time...that looks sooooo good steve...mmmm... but I do have to admit for the time that it is here warm toast does sound appealing! HEY! We are buying toasters for camp so we don't have to make toast in the oven! Praise Jesus! I miss you all... *MUAH*
