Jay Fitz is back from a short hiatus and writing about stews and red sauce recipes. I enjoyed the linked article on the Quest for a Red Sauce. (Actually, as my East Boston friends tell me, a red sauce with meat isn't a sauce -- it's a gravy.) In the last few years I've tried to stay away from carbs and the biggest thing I've missed is spending a weekend afternoon working on sauce gravy for pasta.

Hmmm. I think today might be a good day to break out.
