OMG IC - a good debate between the men at the table (women NEVER opened their mouths then - but afterward they did!) and the one hand with the homemade bread in it going all over the place and the fork in the other hand andhe mouth yakking and chewing at the same time! they all talked at the same time and it looked like they werent paying much attention to each other - but they remmbered every word!

then they got a good case of the "AAAGG" - lol

OKAY -

can any of you (Italians) remember the Italian custom with the bread?

bread was always broken and never cut and if it was ever to be cut with a knife - you held the bread near your heart and you cut the loaf in your hands with the blade coming towards your heart?

symbolizing the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the blood He shed for us -

????????????????

anyone????
