Food Rules

So last night at book club, where we were discussing "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", by the way, the topic that overtook the book was food.  I happened to watch Oprah yesterday and the topic there was a book called "Food Rules" that just came out, that is all about eating healthy and naturally.  I was intrigued.  A couple of us at book club had seen the show, so we were discussing it and it came out that I was pretty much the only one there who had never made my own spaghett sauce.  I don't know why that shocked me so much.  But tonight, I'm doing something about it -- yep, you guessed it --I'm making my own spaghetti sauce.  I also plan to sneak a little spinach in it.  I snuck (is that a word?) spinach in tator tot hotdish once, and it had a very suspicious green hue to it, and tasted just a bit off as well.  Maybe I overdid it, and maybe that wasn't the best thing to try to hide vegetables in.  At least not green vegetables.  They tell me you can hide just about anything in spaghetti sauce though, so tonight I try it.  I'll report back in tomorrow on how things went over with the fam.  Mark is worried.
