A Pasta Recipe and an Estate Plan.

A Pasta Recipe and an Estate Plan.

 

Estate planning and cooking have a lot in common. They both require the right set of ingredients, and they both relieve the worries of life. If you have good food that is one less thing to worry about, if you have estate planning you know your beneficiaries are going to be okay.

 

Have you ever cooked a bad meal? Of course you have. I once used sugar instead of salt, yummy. Well let’s not do that with your estate plan. Here is what you need for a successful estate plan.

 

1.     A will and a personal representative.

2.     A Trust and a trustee.

3.     Heirs and Beneficiaries.

4.     Agent(s)

5.     Guardian(s)

 

Best Pasta Sauce:

 

1.     Whole fresh garlic finely chopped

2.     Olive Oil

3.     Salt

4.     Pepper

5.     Whole peeled tomatoes

 

Start by draining the tomatoes and reserving the juice. Squeeze each tomato by hand to make it pulpy. Consider keeping two containers: One for the juice and one for the pulp. Do not throw any of this away.

 

In a deep pan or pot add olive oil and let it warm. Do not let the oil smoke as that changes the flavor. Add in garlic and allow to cook. As soon as you see the garlic begin to brown add in the pulpy tomatoes. Add salt and pepper, then stir for practically an eternity. You will want to see the red tomatoes start to turn dark dark red. Essentially caramelizing the tomatoes and reducing the water content.

 

Once reduced and darkened, add in your left over tomato juice that you reserved, and…… wait for it. Stir for an eternity. Once the sauce reaches a saucy consistency it is ready to be devoured. Although, note it is likely that some members of the family may have perished during the stirring, as it does take an eternity. Gosh. I hope they had their estate plan in order.
