Bustin' balls, takin' out the trash and makin' sauce all at once. Talented guy, that Clemenza. Oh, Paulie, you won't see him no more. And Mikey, tell that nice girl you love her! 'I love-a you with all-a my heart!' And now, the real-uh thing: Doin' a stretch but still eatin' like a king: Outta the joint, makin' the sauce. | ||

A bowl of good sauce (gravy) and a loaf of decent bread makes a meal. | |||

One of my favorite snacks! Has to be a good, hearty Italian bread. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

"Gravy." That's New Jersey Italian for "sauce." "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

I miss the NJ Italian sauce my mom made, including the big pieces of sausage (My mothers family are Italian). I told my wife her sauce tastes like the stuff they served at my elementary school. She didn't quite like that comment. | |||

When my father was away in the navy, my mother was taught how to make sauce by a couple of older Italian women who lived next door. My Puerto Rican wife uses that same basic recipe today. Best sauce ever! _____________________________ "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

Love it! Once you make your own sauce, you can never buy that jarred stuff anymore. Fuggettaboutit!  "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!" - GhostBusters II "You have all the tools you need. Don't blame them. Use them." - Dan Worrall | |||

Vinnie, don't put too many onions in the sauce "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

It's a regional thing. I married into a large Italian family; they all call it sauce. I have friends in the Boston area - they call it gravy. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Thought gravy had meat. Sauce didn’t. “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson | |||

Catherine Scorsese (née Cappa; April 16, 1912 – January 6, 1997) used to cook for the crew on her kid's films. She also played some parts in the script, and had a good Italian accent. | |||

My mom's parents were right from the old country, one was Italian the other Sicilian. My grandma was the typical Italian grandma, up to start cooking at dawn, hand making everything. Her whole family called it sauce. Her cooking was legendary. My grandfather used to call pasta "macaroni" They wouldn't teach my mom to speak italian when she was young and said no to me when I asked. We are americans, you don't need to know it, was their response. I learned a few words but not much. Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

That's the way I learned it. Gravy is made with meat stock, sauces are based on vegetables (tomato, olive oil, etc.). What do folks in Boston know, anyway? They call a milk shake a "frappe" (one syllable)--their "milk shake" doesn't have any ice cream in it! flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

My dads mom was Italian (Fortunato was her maiden name) from Germantown in Philadelphia ...Nana and all her sisters and brothers called it sauce. Aunt Vera used to visit and flew on the plane with her huge pot on her lap with clothing in it...then when she got to Tampa she started sauce until the day she would fly home, she never passed a bakery either! Never heard it called gravy, except in the movies. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.
