Mangia! As I lifted my fork into my mouth the cheese dangled down into my dish. Eggplant parmigiana was quite a delight for this Sunday's feast. Italian food is one of a kind and it is my all-time favorite. I grew up eating the pure deliciousness my mother and my grandmother crafted up in their little Italian kitchens. Any one of their secret recipes that I can get my hands on, I snag and add them into my recipe box. Some of my all time favorites include pasta e piselli (pasta and peas), lasagna, or a good old dish of spaghetti and meatballs. For dessert, a refreshing bowl of gelato might do or even just a relaxing warm cup of cappuccino with a cannoli. Seasonal favorites are always welcome too. Antipasto served on Christmas Day with fresh mozzarella, pickled eggplant, and cappicola. Around Easter time, I have mastered making Gram's famous recipe-pizzagaina. I can taste it right now! Whatever your fancy might be...at Gram's house we always say these words before takin...
Happy Birthday! Palju õnne sünnipäevaks! (in Estonian)
