So how do you make from scratch tomato sauce?
The reason I used Alton's kind of weird recipie (slice roma tomatoes in half, put cut side down on a pan, bake in oven for 2.5 hrs w/ goodies sprinked over and then mill/mush, add white wine, cook off wine for a bit) was because all of the recipies I could find online called for canned tomatoes. I wasn't sure how to get the tomato out of the tomato, you know? I come from a hamburger helper family, so this stuff is new to me! :)
The things were smelling pretty good last night after an hour but BOY did they get overcooked. Burned tomatoes produce a horrible smell. I even put the hot oregano from our herb garden in there! Ah well. We'll see how the pumpkin soup experiment goes tonight.
I feel like a defective Italian or something. At least I can make good pizelles!
Off to get some things I need for or before Dragoncon . . .

I like my sauce good and chunky, though.
To make it smooth I'd puree it once it'd cooked down with a hand blender thing and thicken it with a little cornstarch.
Though baking the tomatoes first sounds awful tasty...
