Pre-Algebra & Italian Chicken Stew

Ack!  Pre-Algebra at my age is a challenge, relearning it so I can tutor my son is a priority and it routinely requires approximately an hour of intense dedication for both of us. Now that school is back in session, I am in the habit of cooking extra meals on the weekends and serving the meals throughout the work week, which allows me time to go over homework with the Monkeys. I made this Sunday night and stored it untampered in the refridgerator and reheated for tonight's dinner.
This dish was inspired by my friend Nancy (a REAL Italian) when I stayed with her and her husband in NYC.  Nancy served it with white rice and a salad.  Tonight we served it with penne pasta, store bought frozen garlic bread, and store bought Caesar Salad.

Food Rookie Note:   Meat sauces tend to marry and actually taste better after a day or two in the fridge.  Saves time and allows working parents to cut corners in feeding the family.  Also love to cut corners from store bought sides...just like Sara Lee's Almost Home Cooking on Food Channel.
