Oh, blast it!  Got everything we need for this, finally, EXCEPT the mushrooms!  It sounds like sacrilege, but would throwing in some canned mushrooms be better than leaving them out entirely?  And, I got the large jar of peppers.  So will have to make two.  Oh, hurt me…

ack!  No canned mushrooms!  You can if you want, but I wouldn't!      (I won't even buy them…my theory being…lots of people don't like peas because they had canned peas and not fresh growing up…same thing goes for mushrooms.)

I found lots of Delallo peppers in the commissary today, but none in the sauce.  They actually had their own stand in the deli area.  I forgot to look for the Oliverra peppers over in the itallian foods.  I want to make this meat pie!!!!
