    You rock missy. It's a good idea to put tomato paste instead of diced tomatoes. I have to put them in a mini-chopper so I don't get pieces of tomatoes. Osso bucco is such a hearthy cold weather meal. Too bad that we have a hard time finding veal shanks at the supermarket in Daytona Beach. You have to go to butcher and there are only two of them. Well... I substitute them for blade roast or shoulder roast. It is cooked for so long that in the end you have the same result except for the bone marrow that you spread on your bread.
