The same goes for the sausage. I buy it freshly ground and seasoned—but
with absolutely no unwanted preservatives added—from a local butcher shop,
and freeze it (three-quarters of a pound per container) in pint cartons.

I like to prepare dough ahead for pizza crusts too. Whenever I bake loaves of whole wheat, anadama, herb, or other breads . . . I just mix up a little extra, package the dough in onepound lots, and freeze it right alongside my other ingredients. Then—when pizza day rolls around—all I have to do is go to the freezer and select one container of crust, one sauce, one sausage, and one cheese . . . thaw everything . . . roll out the dough and spread on the sauce, sausage, and cheese . . . bake my creation at 450°F for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is slightly browned . . . and 'serve 'er up' to a hungry family of four.

So I decided to make my own pizza sauce from my own homegrown produce during
the following canning season, ... It took a bit of experimenting
to come up with just the right amount of all the ingredients . . . but I finally
hit upon a blend that the folks around here seem to relish. The secret is the
herbs: Don't be afraid to put more of 'em in than you think you shouldl That's
what gives my sauce its hearty flavor and character.

My personal feeling is we’re not going to see the price of oil and the price at the pump go down for a long time, ... I just don’t think it’s sound public policy in the times we live in now. I’d rather have a bank account so if something hits us and hits us hard, we have got a fund.
