Ground Italian sausage meat sauce and penne pasta. Bro. It's the fucking bomb. A simple meal I make superlatively. It's as good as an Edberg backhand slice approach shot down the line.

I'll need to start making some coffee here in the near future.

Not to bring up the past, but I was a Courier fan. I was so upset that Courier lost to Edberg in the 1991 USO Finals. My friend was also rooting for Edberg.

I never saw any of Courier's major wins. During the early 90s, I paid more attention to Wimbledon and the USO.

I have Courier on my wishlist on the DVR, so hopefully I can catch one of his AO or FO wins, but nothing seems to pop up the past year or so.

Did you buy the meat sauce, or make it? If you bought it, what brand?

I'm going to Sambuca with coffee beans after I finish my beer.

 

[ElTexan]

And that's why Nadal is also a champion. They stated Roger was serving the same, but Nadal changed things up. Notice his grounstrokes got slower and more loopy.

Local grocery store ground Italian sausage, 1lbs. I sautée an entire yellow onion in the meat. Then add two cans of basic pasta sauce. Add some fresh Italian herbs.
Boil penne in very salty water. I boil past al dente, to softer.
