I felt so good yesterday I think I overdid it; my leg ached some today but not bad. I didn’t do much; I sat outside enjoying my last hummingbird come several times and the gold finches feeding upside down. It was cool this am but warmed up after noon.
About 2:00 I started making my marinara sauce, about a good pint of tomatoes I had peeled and frozen. I cooked them down to get rid of some of the water. Then added in 3 slices of Vidalia onions, a carrot and two garlic cloves all diced small. When it was cooked down, most of the water was gone; I pureed it with an immersion blender. I added two 6 oz. cans of tomato sauce, a pinch of sea salt and a tsp. of sugar. After tasting it I added in about a tsp. of oregano and a ½ tsp. of thyme. It was the right thickness so I covered it and let it simmer until 4:30.
I had thawed out the brachiola so I added it to a casserole dish; covered it to almost cover with the marinara sauce and in a 250 deg. oven to slow cook until 6:00 supper time.
I picked the last good tomatoes from my garden, 4 Roma plum tomatoes to have in our side salad of a Romaine mix with Champaign dressing and some crisp fried onions. My pasta was Ronzoni’s smart taste thin spaghetti. I split a small baguette added garlic butter and some shredded parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheese and toasted it in the oven. I didn’t get many pics of the prep since I was tired.
I sliced the brachiola about a ½ inch thick and it was pretty tender, it tasted great. I think the next one I will add some more cheese to the stuffing; maybe mozzarella. We both liked the meal and I was full when done eating.
My dog was glad when I got some nutter butter cookies out to share with him. It’s almost a nightly thing and if I wait very long he will set there and try to stare me down until I get them!
I didn't use any of the paste

Don..looks fabulous to me..I have been using the Mozz string cheeses to add to things. Great for stuffing the outside crust of pizzas too. The baby loves them also, so I have been buying them for her. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I tried string cheese for something once and didn't think it melted well. Don
