“As Sam says, "This is the meal my crowd eats on our first night of arrival in a new place with old friends, extended family, anywhere a lot of people have gathered to be together for holidays, graduations, weddings, adventure trips, weekend getaways, and funerals alike."”

“Not quite the ragu you spend 8 hours on but close enough for comfort.”
