  • Sugar is neutral in PH, but can be used to help balance out overly acidic food. I would be worried that in this case it would just bolster the flavor of the lemon if it is strong enough that you can detect it in the sauce.

    Baking soda should work fine and just turns the acid into CO2 and salt, but if it has a flavor of lemon, it sounds like you are dealing with lemon oils in the sauce.

    You could try cutting it with some fat (milk, cream or butter), and I would try adding more onion and/or garlic to complement/mask the lemon.

    You should probably consider buying a different base tomato sauce in the future.






  • Thanks for responding in good faith!

    I agree that while CS did screw up in pushing out a bad update, only having a single vendor for a critical process that can take the whole business down is equally a screw up. Ideally companies should have had CS installed on half the systems and a secondary malware prevention system on every DR and “redundant” system. Having all of a company’s eggs in a single basket is very bad.

    All the above being said; to properly implement a fully redundant, to the vendor level, system would require either double the support team, or a massive development effort to tie the management of the systems together. Either way, that is going to be very expensive. The point being: Reducing the budget of IT departments will further cause the consolidation of vendors and increase the number of vendor caused complete outage events.

    bloated IT budgets

    Can you point me to one of these companies?

    In general IT is run as a “cost center” which means they have to scratch and save everywhere they can. Every IT department I have seen is under staffed and spread too thin. Also, since it is viewed as a cost, getting all teams to sit down and make DR plans (since these involve the entire company, not just IT) is near impossible since “we may spend a lot of time and money on a plan we never need”.
