Meat sauce

Sometimes the sauce comes out better than others. This is a good one. 1-2 lbs ground pork 1-2 lbs Italian Sausage, casing removed 3 medium onions, diced fine 1 stalk of celery, diced fine 3/4 cup of whole milk (or a mix of skim and 1/2 and 1/2) 3 28oz cans of crushed tomatoes 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1 to 11/2 tsp fennel seeds, lightly ground Salt Pepper Olive oil as needed. 1) Brown the meats together in large pot with some olive oil. You may need to spoon off excess fat and water to ensure you are browning and not steaming. 2) Remove the meat to a bowl. Do NOT clean out the pot. 3) Add some more olive oil and heat. 4) Saute celery and onions until translucent 5) Add meat back in and stir. 6) Add milk and heat on medium high heat until almost evaporated completely, stirring regularly. 7) Add tomatoes and remaining spices, including salt and pepper. 8) Bring to a light "bubble", then turn down and simmer for about 1/2 hour to 1 ho
