My spaghetti sauce, when I make it properly, has the sliced mushrooms (sometimes diced) and the yellow peppers. I have never tried the shredded carrots, but I have heard it recommended by a few people, and Amanda's mother used to include them. I never really noticed them (tastewise-- I could see them, of course) so I suppose that is a vote in favor of shredded carrots in spo sauce.

Some other ingredients I like to include in my spaghetti sauce:
Broccoli
Diced celery
Red and green peppers
Diced onions
Pressed garlic
Spices (Oregano, crushed basil, and garlic powder top this list)
Ground beef
Chicken breast chunks
More things, but I can't call any to mind right now for some reason.

> Anyway, my term for Spaghetti is 'zetti,' and another thing I call Pizza is 'za'. Cheerios (on the rare occasions we have those) are always "O's" as in, "Please pass the O's." And a single piece of clothing is a 'clo'.

'Za' was another term used by Amanda's family which I had forgotten about.
