Married to Guido who is my biggest fan. I think I decided to marry him when he first came home and said 'Something smells REALLY good, Baby!' and he has said it every night since........
My favorite things to cook
Italian. It's in our blood to make the perfect GRAVY (we call it Gravy in our family, not sauce)- I guess I make a mean marinara, I have gotten two marriage proposals and one offer for a weekend in Vegas after they tasted my secret recipe...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Food was/is our life. Everything happened in the kitchen. Typically the Holidays called for Sausage*Noodle Bake, Ricotta Pie, Zeppolas, Macaroni in Aleeche, and every Christmas Mom made Candy Cane cookies. Oh- and Easter calls for the Easter Breads-braided sweet dough around colored eggs, jeeze we EAT A LOT!!
My cooking triumphs
Besides my Sunday Gravy, I am quite good at French Onion Soup, and apparently my Potato Salad is 'to die for'- Guido loves me and loves it all, except for this one time...
My cooking tragedies
...this one time I made the Eggplant Croquettes from this site. Oh man, what a nightmare. I should post our review, but let me just say 'YUCK-O' and leave it at that. The house stunk for 4 days and 2 nights...
