Moms

I recently found a note from one of my first graders:
"From: C To: Mrs. Deaton
I love you Mrs. Deaton and you're like my mom and I'm like your daughter and you love me too."
I continue to be amazed how in their simple words young children can say such enormous things.
So, in a salute to moms, here is my mom's spaghetti sauce.

Mom's Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb hamburger (also can add sweet Italian sausage)
1 small can tomato paste
1 small can tomato sauce
1 large can chopped tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves crushed garlic (usually more :))
2 bay leaves
4 TBS Worchestershire sauce
dash Tobasco
salt and pepper
Oregano and basil to taste (usually seasoned heavily :))
1 small can mushrooms

Cook meat in olive oil and drain. Add remaining ingredients except mushrooms (leave until last hour). Cook at least 3 to 4 hours (your house will smell amazing!!! As my mom's always did!!)
