My mother used to spend all day making spaghetti sauce. She would start it that morning, (after a cup of joe and a smoke) and simmered it for hours. The whole house would smell wonderful and we couldn't wait to eat it. This recipe has been added to over the years and makes the best sauce ever!

This sounds wonderful. I'll have to freeze some of it, but I never mind if the sauce is good. Yours sounds great.
Looks absolutely delish!
