[net.cooks] More on Sweet&Sour Sauce

I forgot to mention that I also mix crushed red pepper into the liquids
before cooking the sauce. (I put crushed red in *everything*, so I forget to 
mention it!) I think I'll try throwing in a little onion powder, too,
next time I make it. (Nothing like overkill to improve a dish, right?)
If you use generic catsup, after all, it won't have much in it to flavor
the sauce, so it might be good to play around with some spices. I would
consider practically anything: oregano, thyme, basil, or mixtures like
fines herbes or bouquet garni might be good starting points.
