    Good point, Emily. Fred,your dish is good in a Sandra Lee kind of way. You realize if you win, you have to make the actual sauces in front of the judges?

    They allow you to delete cookies to get more votes in this contest? I'll have to tell my daughter-in-law. She's in the contest, too, but has been playing fair and square.

    Are others doing this?

    Based off of using jar sauces what pairs well with Spaghetti O's? I guess a meat sauce would be a red. Please advise.
