Hi Everyone

Hope you are all as excited as me.

I can't wait till we start making recipes....I finally submitted my second and last recipe last night.

Good Luck to everyone

OMG baby kato!!! LMAO! Who comes up with these photos??? I'm gonna attempt to make that little creature next time I make my "famous" chicken wings (my friends call them "Rosie's Flamin' Ass Chicken Wings"). I'll plunk that little pepper monster down in the center of the platter! Too funny!!!

Julie, Thanks... I'll check out her site. Now, as for this ketchup contest, you can't enter, correct? But you have "access" to ketchup, right? Then play along by trying some of the dishes listed when they reveal them. You could still rate them I would imagine.
-Rosie

Yes........no problems with entering this game and I have submitted two recipes already.

In Australia we refer to all ketchup as tomato sauce.........but the Heinz variety is labelled as ketchup. All is stocked in our supermarkets in the sauce section. I think in US 'tomato sauce' might refer more to a pasta sauce. We just think of ketchup as being an American term for our tomato sauce

I bought the Heinz brand ketchup for developing my recipes and taste testing others. Can't wait for the recipe reveal and to see all the original recipes that have been submitted

Hi Julie...You are correct. Here in the U.S., we have ketchup (although its proper name is catsup), which contains vinegar & sugar, that is used on burgers, hot dogs, etc. as a condiment and is quite thin in comparison to tomato sauce, which is thicker and usually flavored more for pasta dishes like spaghetti. And then we have tomato paste, which is extremely thick, also used in sauces & other dishes to thicken them a bit.
Hope that helps!

WOW! I don't know how that happened... my paragraph ended up inside your "quote box" Julie. Sorry! LOL. Hope that helps you understand a little better the US terms.

LOVE the pics Baby Kato! LOL. Let me ask you... is "Heinz" sponsoring this particlar contest, or is "any type" of ketchup (catsup) eligible?

Excellent!! You found my reply that drifted off into space and landed in your quote box! LOL! (I think I may have cut in between your text and your name when I replied). Oh well, no harm done.
Anyway... I didn't explain "marinara sauce" to you... ha ha ha!!! I say its the same a tomato sauce (like for spaghetti), thicker than catsup & flavored with herbs, etc., but some people will differ on that subject.
Good luck in the contest, hun. I'm to get in at least 1 entry before the deadline. My computer is busted, so I'm using my "stupid smart phone"!

Goodnight -Rosie

Oh my goodness, I'm late to the party!
Looks like everyone is having a great time with a great list of ingredients.
I forgot to get a reminder for this event so have only just now dropped in.
Probably just as well because I have four—yes FOUR—Food.com house
guests this week—mickeydownunder and her hubby and awalde and her
daughter. What a good time we're having cooking and eating, but we sure
aren't 'creating'.

I noticed Rosie's and Julie's conversation about tomato sauce. Thought I'd
add that US tomato sauce and Aussie tomato puree are the same thing.

Also, Rosie, I'm heading to Uluru (Ayers Rock) later this month so I'll be
sure to post some photos for you. I've been there twice before and it really
is an amazing place to see. We expect to drive and camp, so there should
be a lot of the country to show off.

Hi Peggy... Do you live in Aussie too? Jubes sent me a link for pics from her friend that is on holiday (haven't looked at it yet). I will get there one day before I croak!!!
Yes there was a debate over ketchup (catsup) and tomato sauce. Glad its all cleared up.
You can PM me the photos anytime. I'm dying to go there.

As I said to Julie... "Goodnight"... but it just dawned on me... you people are around 4:00 p.m. tomorrow (Feb 6th) for us!!! Its only 11:00 p.m ( Feb 5th) in Chicago, illinois, USA. LMAO!!!

As long as it's tomato ketchup (catsup) all brands are acceptable.

Peggy is also Australian and I think that she will be having lots of fun this week! No wonder the sauce/ketchup issue is confusing.........I guess that's why some of the reviews posted to Australian recipes that call for tomato sauce as an ingredient receive mixed reviews.

It does get confusing for me with the date difference. Sometimes I have to make a post to work out what Food.com time is (I guess that I am time difference challenged ! )


and Peggy.........we do want to see photos

[Leggy Peggy]

Hey Julie, this is a great place to check on time and date.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

and I promise to post photos. We're going to Brisbane this weekend,
and Sydney and the Blue Mountains next week. Rosie, you'd better start
saving for you Aussie trip.

By the way, all this travel is brought on by another visitor. Sherry and I have
been friends since we were four years old in the USA. We travelled to
together in Africa in 2009, but this is her first visit to Australia. We're having
a blast.

Okay. As I mentioned earlier I am a fan of plain, unadulterated ketchup. I love it on steak, hamburger, scrambled eggs, etc.

A few years ago I was going for physical therapy because I had tennis elbow, not from playing tennis, but from sorting mail at the post office. Stop making fun. Anyway, I would leave work early to go for therapy. I would always be hungry, so one day I stopped at one of those hot dog trucks. I said, "Could I have some hot dog with my ketchup?" He said, "What did you say?" So I repeated it. Then he busted out laughing and told me what I'd said. He said I made his day. Talk about Freudian slips...

Now that's a serious ketchup addiction.
And so kind of you to give the guy such a good laugh.
