Okay Tyler, you win!

So, last night for Valentine's I made this "Ultimate Rigatoni" that we have seen Tyler Florence make, surprisingly - JULIE wanted to make it- There's eggplant in it!
He makes things look really easy on tv- but it was WAY too fucking complicated.....Way too many cook this and take it out, and cook this and take it out and THEN do all this other stuff and THEN put it all back together. Oh, and having to take WHOLE tomatoes and squishing them with your hands is NOT something I want to have to do. The first one I squished went ALL OVER THE PLACE - of course!! :( FUCK that. So I pretty much just took the ingredients and made it the way that I wanted to! I was cursing Tyler the whole time I was making it! Then we ate it. It was sooo AWESOME. So, it looks like I'll be cursing Tyler the next time I make it!! :)
