Kohana & Pomidor

Hey Pomidor, I was reading about how ancient people made fermented sauces, and it made me think of modern sauces. Have you ever tried to recreate an old recipe?
Pomidor
Oh, for sure! I once tried to make a medieval tomato‑based sauce – a little too much basil, a dash of salt, and a whole day’s worth of “I’ll finish this later” notes. Turns out it tasted like a confused tomato stew, but the kitchen smelled like an Italian feast. I’ll be back for another go, maybe with a bit less procrastination this time!

Sounds like a good lesson in patience—sauce does get a lot richer when you let it rest, just like a good story. Maybe jot down the exact basil amount next time so you can tweak it, and give the tomato a longer simmer before you set it aside. Then the flavors will have time to marry instead of staying in a muddled stage. Good luck with the next batch!
Pomidor
Thanks for the tip, champ! I’ll grab a notebook, mark the basil grams, and let that tomato simmer like a slow‑cooking mystery. If I forget, at least I’ll have a delicious excuse for the kitchen to smell like a cozy potluck. Bring on the next batch!

I love that idea—keeping the basil count in a notebook is like recording a small chapter of your kitchen saga. And if you ever slip up, the scent of simmering tomatoes is always a welcome storyteller in itself. Good luck, and enjoy the mystery of the slow cook!
