Then please eat more.
Pizza shops go throuh lots of sauce, so they don't go whole hog on
it like they do with Marinara.
not. Puree, paste, water, spices, ... but not a full blown Marinara.
And most people/families have a "secret" ingredient. BTW, I think
it's the licopene (?) in tomatoes (not pizza with all that
counterproductive cheese) that prevents heart disease and cancer.
Without a doubt one of my favorite inventions beside my own has to be
the better of the two original buffalo wing sauces from Buffalo N.Y.
My favorite is the Santora's recipe which I have determined is the
best wing sauce on the planet. The only remaining restaurant is in
Mission Viejo California where I have pleasured my palate nearly every
week since 1980. 40 to 50K in wings later it is still the best damn
sauce I have ever experienced. People fly into Orange County from all
over just to get their fix.
As embarrassing as it is, my favorite abandoned invention was the LED
tennis shoe that I invented in 1978. I was designing disco light
controllers for Tivoli Industries, the company that patented strip
lighting you can see in theaters and amusement parks all over the
world. After designing many famous lighted dance floors I came to the
conclusion that the lights could go into shoes too. It eventually led
to the LED apparel craze that resulted in LED's in tee shirts and
other apparel. After introducing the disco shoe with flashing lights
in the heels that was sold all over the U.S. during the disco era, I
was approached by a tennis shoe manufacturer at a shoe show in Dallas
to design a lighted jogging shoe. The original intent was to provide a
safe shoe for night jogging. Just a couple years after the shoes were
released the market died and I lost interest in keeping up my
maintenance fees on the patent thinking that no one would ever do LEDs
in shoes again!
Every time I see kids wearing LED flashing shoes I reflect back on my
brilliant decision to let the patent go. It was my first realization
that fads do come back for an encore now and then!
I gladly pay all my patent maintenance fees now in advance.
