Dear Joe Bob: Cowardly oil baron: Chicken Sheik. Tough Luck, in Yiddish: Mazel Tough! There's the Aggie who stayed up To top off an Italian creation By GREG MOORES Staff Writer A number of the recipes I have offered or will be offering in this column are Italian, such as the baked spaghetti 1 described last time. Italian recipes often require a good tomato sauce. I usually suggest using some canned sauce like Ragu or stewed tomatoes. This saves time and also makes the dish easier to prepare for those who have not yet mastered the art or uncovered the mystery of creating a homemade sauce. The secrets to creating a good sauce are the right amounts of each ingredient, liberal doses of the right spices and slow simmering for hours on the stove. 1 usually start my sauce in the morning and let it simmer all day. I taste it occassionally. adding more spices, until its just right. Sometimes. I make it a day ahead of time, as it always seems to taste better when stored in the refrigerator over night. Don't worry about making too much, since it can be stored for several months in the freezer. Spaghetti sauce 1 large can whole tomatoes 1 16-oz. can tomato sauce I 6-o7. can tomato paste I : cup water i lb. ground beef 1 large or 2 small green peppers, cut into strips 1 large Spanish onion, chopped Y lb. fresh mushrooms, chopped or sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbs. oregano 1 tbs. basil 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 bay leaf salt, pepper to taste Brown the ground beef and com bine all the ingredients in a large pot. Simmer for several hours. Stir occassionally, breaking up the toma toes with a wooden spoon. Taste ocassionally. adding more spices if needed. The sauce can also be made with a pound of shrimp or shredded chicken, instead of beef. For a vegetarian sauce, add more mush rooms, some celery and some sliced zucchini. Use for spaghetti, lasagna. mani cotti. ravioli or any other pasta dish. By the way. if three cloves of garlic isn't enough for you. feel free. to add more.

Dallas Dear Shelby: Why do I feel like reading one of your letters is like being imprisoned in the Poconos? Dear Joe Bob: Jerry Falwell says that Playboy's photos are sinful. Brigitte Bardot says that killing baby seals is evil. Ronald Reagan says that the Contra guerrillas are the moral equivalent of our founding fathers. Jimmy Carter says that energy independence is the moral equivalent of war. Each of these people has received instructions from the Deity, concerning His wishes on a particular issue. How did they get these explicit, definitive statements on current events? Where do you go to get the heavenly guidelines on nude photo graphy and subsidized oil produc tion? How can I find out the Divine socio-economic preferences? Waiting, Dallas. Dear Waiting: Read the Inquirer. Dear Joe Bob: I used to live in Texas, so I understand. It's OK. I have found out here in California, just as I'm sure you have, that it's possible to hide my redneck back ground from Vidor, Texas (down Beaumont way), and make people think I'm a true pseudo-intellectual. Anyway, 1 . used to know the meaning of life, but there is so much marijuana in the air out here in San Francisco that I forgot it. I'm with you all the way on the drive-in. Just remember, all that glitters is not golf. Peace. Eric Malone, San Francisco. Dear Eric: And all that looks like a big pile of crunched-up Ritz crackers dipped in a vat of mayon naise is not street crack. The Stereo Sound The Right Audio, Video, Car Stereo at the Right Price.
