I love to read what you have to say, and what kind of foods your family and friends like.<BR/><BR/>I meant to add that I usually cut the hot sauce (Tabasco) in this recipe back by about half (or less), and offer up the bottle alongside for anyone who might want it spicier. I'll go change the post to reflect that.<BR/><BR/>Hey Greg, it's nice to see you here. I know you've been traveling quite a bit recently. Oh, yes, I do have a few recipes in which I use vodka, for the very reason you mentioned. But Rachael Ray suggested reducing the vodka by half <I>before</I> adding the other ingredients, that was a new one for me and seemed to fly in the face of the purpose of using the vodka. I'd probably add it after the tomato sauce and other ingredients, then reduce the entire sauce. (Or skip and have the cocktail along with the appies :) instead!) hee hee.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again everyone for your nice comments!Mari @ Once Upon a Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780341844995085098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630857423783823238.post-37894666992410654562009-01-04T12:24:00.000-08:002009-01-04T12:24:00.000-08:00Ooh, those look good enough to eat!

The alcohol can help to bring out different flavors that are not water soluble. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your presentation of these.
