Never mind me, I'm just kidding.
I'm not. I agree. It's as simple as peeling and crushing tomatoes, and adding them to a mirepoix, then simmer. Much, much better when homemade. The ingredients are simply tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, carrot, onion, celery, and herbs (usually just fresh sweet basil for me).

Cheapest price on eBay is like 85 bucks shipping included to Belgium... ROFLMAO !

The Cavender's Greek Seasoning I found for less than 10 bucks shipping in.
I find Prego to be overly sweet so I would recommend substituting a good jar of marinara sauce that you can find locally.

For Greek Seasoning, you could google for a recipe. Make sure that the one you find has salt, pepper, garlic, oregano at least.
I actually recommend a sweet sauce for this recipe, because that is the emphasis of taste in the recipe. Perhaps taste the sauce beforehand, and sweeten it up if necessary.

It's probably a good idea to make the recipe as the creator has intended for the first time. Then you can always modify to more your taste if you like the next time.

Smiled: Levels 7 and 8 in the original Legend of Zelda were much easier than I expected.
Ticked: I've been having terrible stomach pains for a couple weeks and now my doctor thinks I have Celiac Disease :?

Seems like gluten-free is on the rise right now, hopefully this will help you out!

After level 6 the entire rest of the game seems relatively easy to me.

Ugh, I hope not. A former roommate had it and had to give up blueberry muffins which were his favorite food.

Actually I was on a low-carb diet for a few months and didn't even touch bread. Now that I'm eating it again it is kicking my ass. The Egg McMuffin I ate this morning makes it feel like I swallowed a bunch of nails.

I've noticed that as well. The hardest level for me was Level 4 before I found the Blue Ring. Something tells me once I find the Red Ring the ending will be a breeze.

Now I like an Egg Mc Muffin every now and then too, but using that as evidence probably isn't the most conclusive. :lol:

But seriously. :(

:lol: I hear you, but I've been keeping a food diary and all the evidence is pointing towards it. I think I could live with it but no longer being able to go to the Olive Garden would piss my wife off :lol:
