That is double my current view. Not sure I could handle so many interesting stories at once.

I was gonna get the smoker going this weekend, but it's supposed to rain. If it does, I think I am going to make a big pot of a bolognese ragu this weekend. Sounds so good. Yeah loco, gotta get min 1:2 pasta:meat ratio imo. 1:3 is ideal for taste, maybe. Sometimes I even go 1:4. Guys, hey guys, deal with it.

It's 75 cents in 'murica, but probably around 345 euros plus Norwegian high-protein tax.

I'll post the recipe in the recipe thread. Cliffs: I use ground lamb meat instead of ground beef, and add honey, veal stock and some applesauce in addition to the standard onions etc. Also use a ton of garlic and let it boil for close to an hour.

With a bunch of chopped basil on top and a nice bolognese-to-pasta-ratio, it can be relatively beautiful ;-)

I like the idea of using lamb - will go that route next time!

+1 to letting it boil a long time - the longer the better.

Have you considered adding balsamic vinegar and/or red wine? Perhaps the applesauce accomplishes a lot of the same.

It's sad cause it's true.

Bit more money, better hours, better boss, more interesting and not soul-sucking work, it's IT so the 5-10% women will be fat and ugly.

Applesauce (it's fairly sour, not very sweet) accomplishes roughly the same thing as balsamic vinegar. Since I'm already opening a bottle of wine I'll add a splash of that though, good call.

Bolognese really benefits from multiple meats and fresh, if not homemade pasta (the dry stuff just kills it for me). Of all recipes I've tried, this is the winner by a decent margin: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...no-9-park.html

It's a little bit of a pain in the ass.

I tried a super duper version of lasagne that included chicken liver. Pretty clutch imo.

I enjoy eating pasta while I am actually eating it, but then after I just feel terrible and want to die. Carb overload -- it's a trap, etc.

A lot of the stuff and tips from the chili thread can be used for bolognese.
