My paternal grandmother has passed, and we recently did some cooking that brought back some of my favorite memories. Whenever we used to visit she always had a delicious, made-from-scratch meal waiting for us when we arrived. I always hoped that it was her spaghetti with homemade sauce, (accompanied by her mandarin orange and almond salad of course), and it often was. When I bought some ground beef in bulk and I didn't think to portion it out before freezing it, I knew that this would be the perfect recipe once it came time to thaw and cook it. A single recipe is quite large, and I made a double recipe, filling up an entire large stock pot. Thankfully it freezes very well, so we'll have some of Grandma's spaghetti sauce ready to go whenever we need it. There was always something about eating at Grandma's house, even the toast at breakfast seemed to taste better!
Grandma's Spaghetti Sauce2 pounds ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 pound hot Italian sausage
some garlic - minced (I used about a heaping tablespoon)
some onions - chopped (I used one small onion)
3 teaspoons dried oregano
3 teaspoons dried basil
4 teaspoons dried parsley
2 Tablespoons fennel seed
2 Tablespoons sugar
2-3 cans of diced tomatoes
3 large cans of tomato sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
Brown the meat in a large pot with the olive oil. Add the garlic and onions and saute a bit longer.
Add the seasonings and stir well.
Add in the tomato stuff. Stir well and simmer, (do not boil), for a couple of hours stirring occasionally.

I was guided to think, for a while, using the "1335 = 2300" methodology, explained here :

We are less than 7 days away from prophetic history : the completion of the 2300 day cleansing period of Daniel 8:14. When Jesus said to me, "Give in now, John, until it comes time to fulfill all justice", He was referencing that point in time between "this age" and "the age to come", that point in time between December 29th and 30th, 2018 A.D. There is no changing this by human means.
