The magic of the double yolker.
First photo is for scale. Double yolker flanked by single yolkers.
Second photo, it’s like boobies looking up at you when you fry them.
Third photo, over easy on a slice of toast. An exotic twist to an ordinary but satisfying snack.

I got my hands on some actual San Marzano tomatoes. At least that’s what package says.

If you buy canned versions of San Marzano tomotoes make sure it has DOP in the back description of of the label and packaging... That ensures you are getting authentic San Marzano product. Many canned versions of San Marzano say.. "San Marzano type" tomato which are basically Roma tomatoes in general. Also Pasta is another area where many producers "cheat"... For example.. The Barilla pasta you buy here in America is different than the Barilla you would buy in Italy. In America.. it is made with basic enriched Wheat and not with Durham wheat and Semolina. They also use teflon dyes instead of the authentic bronze dyes which leaves a texture on the macaroni itself. The products I would use and stand by are DeCecco , LaMolisana and RUMMO. Spend the extra dollar to get good "maccheroni" Always check the labels for Semolina and Durham wheat when looking for authentic pasta And DOP when purchasing any San Marzano tomato'sNickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -

Here's the deal with San Marzano tomatoes and making sauce with them - you need to put waaaaaaay more salt in your sauce compared to what you normally do with regular canned tomatoes (that are about a 1/3 the price).
I switched to San Marzano tomatoes because a guy I watch on Youtube used them for his sauce and thought "Well if that paesan from the greater NYC area uses them, so will I" and couldn't figure out why my sauce tasted so bland. Found out that the sodium in San Marzano cans are FAR less than the cheaper canned tomatoes.
Then I stumbled upon a video where he made sauce from the $2.59 a can tomatoes vs sauce he made from the $5.99 a can San Marzano tomatoes and did a blind taste test... his son and he actually preferred the sauce made from cheaper tomatoes, his wife thought the sauces tasted practically identical. After that, I went back to the $2.59 a can tomatoes for my sauce.

Most of it is all marketing bullshit.. Homegrown Tomato's are the best.. I take Youtubers with a grain of salt... -

Apparently DOP is an acronym for “Denominazione d’ Origine Protetta”which is Italian for “Protected Designation of Origin.” It just means they were grown in the region of Italy with its famous volcanic soil.
Also, the Italian word for “acronym” is “Acronimo.” It’s like we already know fancy Italian words and don’t even know it.
I really dug in to the pasta bit here. LaMolisinera makes a ditali pasta. I’ve seen DeCecco in my local grocery store before. I found a website called shop4pasta.com and l ordered some type of pasta from those 2 and Rummo. We’ll see how it goes.
That’s not a recommendation. Shop4pasta.com might really suck. It’s embarrassing that l’m ordering pasta on the internet, but l will relay my experience. -

After that, I went back to the $2.59 a can tomatoes for my sauce. Interesting. I mostly use the canned San Marzanos for chili, and l honestly don’t know if they are a net positive in the flavor department or not, but they always come whole in the can. That means l get to half ass chop them up before tossing them in.
And that means l get big hunks of tomato in my chili, and l like that. I actually like a dynamic quality with food where every bite isn’t the same.
This was the first time l got my hands on fresh San Marzanos so l was excited to share. My gal made a pasta sauce with them tonight. There’s viral social media posts going around where you cut them in half and simmer them cut side downs in olive oil with cut up onions and whole garlic cloves, then after a bit you peel the skins off and mash it all together. It was killer.
Do you add any tomato paste to your pasta sauce? Also, do you strain your pasta sauce to get the seeds out? -
Yes @ibleedbrown, after I brown my onion and garlic, I add tomato paste and let it cook for a few minutes, then add it to my sauce.

I like curries, and l watch a lot of cooking reels on social media. It’s to the point that l regularly get videos that aren’t even in English, and l’m trying to figure out what’s in the recipe so l watch it again. And again. And again. And now my entire feed is Indian street food where l barely know what’s going on.
I was stoked to try this one. Moong dal badi masala. Dal means some sort of lentils are involved. Masala means an onion/tomato sauce with spices. Badi are apparently meatballs of some sort.
Whenever l see a recipe where they’re mashing things with a mortar and pestle l get geeked. It fills the kitchen with good smells.
This one didn’t turn out great, but l think l know what to do next time. The badi were a little dry and flavorless. Next time l’ll add more water and salt. My badi, my choice.
The masala was good, but it could have used more salt too.
