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...
I agree with you, long weekends are lovely. We are finishing up spring break. And like always, it's gone way too fast, but it's been really, really nice to have the time off.
