Daryl Davis’s Ted Talk is referenced in this podcast episode. It was his curiosity, courage and grace that lead to Roger Kelly, the former KKK leader to step down.

Liz & Margret’s Smokey Sauce Recipe:
- In a large sauce pan over medium high heat sautee one large sweet onion.
- Start a second Pot of water for the pasta.
- Toss in 3-6 sliced Bavarian Sausages (or your sausage of choice).
- Once the sausage is cooked and has a good crisp to it add in fresh crushed garlic.
- Add two cans of crushed organic tomatoes. (Liz’s favourite brand is Alymer’s tomatoes)
- Drop the heat down to a medium low.
- Sprinkle in 2 tbsp of sugar (1 tbsp of sugar per can of tomatoes helps nutrilize the acidity)
- Add in 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream.
- Toss in Italian seasonings such as Basil or Oregano and a pinch of salt.
- Lastly add Cayenne Pepper to taste. (If you have not used Cayenne Pepper before it is recommended to start out with a 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper. Cayenne Pepper is most potent when fresh, and can be quite spicy.)
- Once the sauce is bubbling gently, serve over al dente pasta.
