Cream cheese no. Their best flavor is still Christmas cookies. I wish I could get it year round.

Citi is in a unique situation due to the transformation Jane has been putting it through. It was in a bad place and unfortunately for some people to fix a company and make it better it does come with trimming some fat. Of course they are going to say people matter. That’s politics 101. She’s not going to come out and say we need to get rid of some overpaid idiots.

Yes they waive all their annual fees for active duty. I also have the blue cash preferred for the 6% back on groceries. Not even in anymore and they still waive them.

Amex platinum with no annual fees is where it’s at.

I just want some Patton’s hot sausage patties. Wish they would expand. Can’t get beef sausage patties in most places.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1/2 small onion, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 -2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/8 cup red wine (a good Cabernet!)
1/2 lb thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS

In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.

Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.

Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.

Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.

Stir well and barely bring to a boil.

Stir in red wine.

Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!

Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

How did it come out?

I live within 10 miles but only really go because there is a Costco across the street that I go to a couple times a month.
