Someone else's sauce

Today's dinner was a bit of an indirect collaboration.  Yesterday, my friend Eddie made some meat sauce for pasta.  His intention was to make enough to last for the few days of the week his meal plan doesn't cover him, and he was kind enough to share some with me.  I had a bunch of leftover spaghetti from yesterday, so it worked out really well.

Again, for lack of ingredients, my sauce yesterday was pretty lackluster.  Eddie's, on the other hand, was chock full of good stuff:  ground beef, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, red bell pepper, and garlic mixed into Trader Joe's tomato sauce.  I ate it with my favorite extra sourdough toast, and it was thoroughly enjoyable.  The most important thing I realized is that I really want to have ground beef and chicken breast on hand at all time, if not fresh, then frozen.  Without my staple proteins, my hands are somewhat tied.  

In a moment of weakness, I went out later for a calzone with another friend.  I didn't eat all of it since I had already eaten, but it was good to get out, and it'd make even more sense if you've had food from Gypsy's.
