Onion and Tomato Sauce Condiment Recipe
I always think of my daughter, Allison, when I prepare this topping. She loves it on her “all time favorite dish in the world, “Meatloaf”. I will post my recipe for Allison’s favorite meatloaf soon. This condiment makes an excellent topping on baked meatloaf, hamburgers and frankfurters. Serve warm. It replaces the usual ketchup and mustard toppings.
It is very easy to prepare and once refrigerated will last for several days. Reheat in the microwave till warm. This recipe can be easily increased for larger servings. I have even stored it in jars and given it as gifts with a note card attached with instructions to keep refrigerated and heat in the microwave when ready to serve.
A dish that our family loved, not only during the Lenten season, but also during the growing season for plum tomatoes. I call it Egg Jumble since I cannot spell the Italian name, but it is pronounced “Jum-bort”. What Italian family who has a little piece of land doesn’t grow a vegetable garden? They would grow bushel loads of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, basil and other Italian herbs. These vegetables would be picked fresh and cooked the same day or they would be jarred for the winter months. 
During our working years the one thing we look forward to is Retirement. It’s the time to enjoy leisurely days when you don’t need to look at the clock, you can take your time having a second cup of coffee, you can read the newspaper from front to back and you can go out to lunch and not worry if you will get finished in an hour. Your time is all yours! 
I have tasted many versions of polenta, but nothing tastes as good to me as fried polenta. Mom made this often, especially when we were having Minestra (steamed mixture of greens and beans saute with olive oil and garlic). She would put the fried polenta in the bottom of the dish and spoon the greens over it. You would mix it through as you ate. 
This was a meal made on Fridays when we were fasting from meat or poultry. Nothing tasted as fresh as this when zucchini was in season.
