Some things are better.....Store Bought!

So, I got this CRAZY idea to put all of our tomatoes from the garden to good use and make some of my own Spahetti Sauce and can it. It sounded pretty easy, and of course, I found a lovely recipe online that made it sound SUPER easy. I picked 30lbs of tomatoes with Jareds help, and this morning, I set to work. After I went to the store and bought plenty of bulk oregano and parsley. I boiled water and dug in to skinning all of those lovely red jewels. Yah.
After an hour and a half, I was STILL peeling, with a bucket of tomatoes that had yet to be touched. I was running out of time, since I had to pick up Travis, and I started to get stressed. Then, irritated. Then, disgusted. I finally decided that I would make half a batch, and see how it turned out.
When we got home, I put the pot on the stove and brought it to a boil. And an hour later, it was STILL boiling. After another hour, it was STILL boiling. And I had yet to see anything that looked like Spaghetti sauce. It looked like a red, stringy, gloppy mess, even though my kitchen smelled like Olive Garden at dinnertime. I pondered, let it simmer some more, then pondered again. Didn't look like anything I would want on my Spaghetti :(
At that point, I made the executive decision that Spaghetti Sauce was harder than it looks, and this blech was going in the disposal.
I am OK with it, really, since I at least TRIED it. I have wanted to try it for years, and now I have. Ok, that is off of the list. And, I most certainly won't be trying it again, Thank You. I will stick with maybe just chopping them up and throwing them in a jar to use in soups or things like that. I mean really, one can only be so much of a domestic goddess.
I think after it all, I have just two words for you my friends: BUY RAGU.
