We had to be quick tonight since our friend Dionne was reading at the Highland Inn. So about twenty minutes before Chelsea was to arrive home from work, I chopped up an onion, sweated it in olive oil, and then added some leftover wine (I guess I missed a drop last night). Once the wine evaporated, I added the tomatoes and a little bit of vinegar. At some point during all of this, I started frying three thick slices of bacon, a compulsive action I have when I near a stove. When the slices were done, I broke them into pieces--my kind of garnish. We served the sauce over fettuccine.
For a side, we made a salad of mixed greens and apple, dressed with Chelsea's delicious homemade vinaigrette. Fast and easy--as close as we'll get to fast food (thank god!). Dionne, whose story you can read
here, read wonderfully in front of a packed house.
