Do you have diet issues? What can I cook for you ?? Please subscribe!

@@Retiredfirehousecook I'm on a restricted diet for health issues. I've already been subscribed to your channel for awhile now.

My grandparents came from Sicily in 1922, I’m 1/2 Italian. Why would you think I’m not? Don’t forget to subscribe.

Thank you. My sons made it 4 generations. Love cherry pie!!! Could I ask you to subscribe and pass the word for me?!!!!

@@Retiredfirehousecook That's awesome! I just did!

Thanks. Bake mine, then let me know what you think. Ask your friends and family to subscribe…

It’s the ring when you buy a wok. Couldn’t find anything better!!

You can also cook it in a crockpot for hours.

Yes. I love left Overs. Freeze it, ready for a new meal. Check out my other videos

It is. Give it a try!

@@Retiredfirehousecook I will

Done!! Sorry, thought I did it..

Where are you?

Thank you. Been in my family for over 66 years

Everyone has their favorite. Yours is not sold in my area, Di Fratelli is the best in my opinion. Sad you quit watching. Come back soon

You’re correct and fresh garlic

You should support first responders, brother

Not everyone can afford San Marzano tomatoes which cost twice as much. Simple greed, so many average Italian families learned to make great sauce with less expensive brands, as my Italian grandparents did. My grandma liked Progresso in the old days.

@@AlphaPoe i grew up with 23 aunts and uncles in the 40s. Every uncle worked 2 jobs and some 3 jobs. One thing they all believed in was eating the best food. That is how I grew up. It holds true today. I worked 2 jobs for more than 25 years and buy the best food. Italians are the best and work as hard as any nationality on the planet.

Thanks Capt. you have a great day as well.

@@Retiredfirehousecook thank you brother

You are the first and only person who thinks this. Did you follow the instructions? Everyone pallet is different, hopefully you find one you like.

@@Retiredfirehousecook no fry onion & garlic, & no meat. while my mother and nonna have made this type of sauce before they only did it when they couldn't afford meat. all your doing is slow cooking tomatos. to the average person this is a good sauce.

My wife doesn’t like onions, or cooked celery. One Sunday, at the fire house, the veggies were bad, the sauce tasted fine to everyone,So I stopped using them. Sometimes I do put in a beef shank,if the store has some, Maybe I’ll do that from now on. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks. Miss cooking with my Mom and Nonna. I should mention: The meatballs cook in the sauce the whole time,

Just subscribed to you. How long retired? 6 this October. It gos fast

@@Retiredfirehousecook retired 9 yrs ago. I miss the action and my boys.

I hear you, still go to lunch with my core brothers. Really miss the kitchen table talks, with a hot cup of coffee. Didn’t matter what time of day.

@Retiredfirehousecook it's funny how we can't wait to retire. But after a couple of years. We wish we were still in the fire service, right? I do go to lunch with my guys, too. Stay safe and healthy, brother

2/3cup or 100g of flour. 1/3 cup or 30g cocoa. 1tsp each of baking powder and soda

Thanks, I have a lot of practice. Please subscribe if you haven’t..😀

Thanks, I feel its the best way…

No. I keep it uncovered. Cooking it for 5 hours, lets me keep the heat low enough that it doesn’t bubble out. Thanks for the question, please let me know if you try it. Has great flavor.

Thank you.

Your sauce is getting expensive cooking on 5 hrs imagine the electricity or gas it consumed and the hrs uou have to keep watvh not practical for us mom.who don't have the resources

I’m glad you like the recipe. Hope you subscribed, and tell All your friends.

Yes in deed. Thanks

You will enjoy them. Had to give them out to save my waistline

I I never used a slow cooker. The biggest thing is you need to be home, so you can skim off the oil that comes to the top. I wouldn’t leave it for more than 2 hours.

The brown sugar added a pleasant flavor.

Thanks.

Please subscribe to my channel

It will be my next video. Thanks for asking for it.

Want to thank you for suggestion. Would like to talk to you about subscribers. Having a hard time getting them. Suggestion on that?

@@Retiredfirehousecook Yes! Well I started my channel end of Aug. 2022. I had 500 subs by end of November, in 3 months. I believe the reason was I cranked out tons of videos so I could build up an inventory. I started uploading desserts about 3 weeks b4 Thanksgiving and I had over 160 subs in 1 week. It hit the “ algorithms “. It slowed down after that. I was thinking Christmas would be the same, but it wasn’t. I had 1K a few weeks b4 my 1 yr anniversary, and the needed hours as well b4 my anniversary, just in time. My channel has grown steadily, but not like the first 3 mo. I also know a few other YT people who were behind me until this past holiday. They cranked out tons of holiday recipes. One gal went from 200 subs to just under 700 in 2 weeks. She actually was doing a dessert every day, Christmas countdown. I’ve never done that. The other gal really hit the algorithms. She was behind me about 400 subs. She’s ahead of me now about maybe 300-400 subs. Once your channel hits the algorithms, anything can happen. The first gal I told you about had had her channel a few years longer than me, but she didn’t post regularly prior to this past holiday. The other gal cranked out videos, and got hit all at once. She shares other peoples videos regularly in her community page. That could help her as well. I hope this helps. You have to post 3-4 times a week to hit the algorithms, not once a week. You also have to watch and mingle with other YT people which was never intentional, it just happens automatically. There’s no way you will grow without the help of other YT’ers. By commenting on others videos, they will check yours out and comment. That’s the way it works!

Cooking is easy. I could do one every day. It’s the editing, that’s hard for me. Do you do your own? If so, what software do you use. I will start talking to other people that I watch. I want to build a kitchen down in my basement, but I promised my wife that I wouldn’t do it until I get sponsor’s.

@@Retiredfirehousecook I do everything on my iPhone, it’s super easy. I use iMovie on my phone to put my video together. All editing is done on my phone. Very simple. I film myself on my iPhone set up on a overhead camera ( phone) holder.

I use CapCut. Film using my IPad. Will look into the iMovie.

Thanks for your reply, I’ll do that next time.

Thank you. Please subscribe if you haven’t.
