OK MamaM, I give up you Italians and your long lists of totally wonderful foods, it really does give you braggin' rights!!!!: OK MamaM, I give up you Italians and your long lists of totally wonderful foods, it really does give you braggin' rights!!!!:Every household in Italy - even between sisters, mothers and daughters, grandmothers and mothers, best friends, cousins - has their own "authentic" and "the only right recipe" for everything. they spend more time arguing than anything.
Actually - they are all good. so someone's pinch is a bit bigger, or her sauce cooks a half hour longer or shorter - who cares.
Although - these "family fueds" and competitions do keep them young and it keep their blood pumping.
Never waste in their homes. Never anything stale. Always fresh and good. They knew how to "recycle". They ate all the eggs they want and any foods they wanted and lived forever and were strong and able-bodied till the end.
One of these days I am going to tape myself making pastas and pasta dishes - you can see how some of oldies-but-goodies do things the old country way.

I love Italian food but I'm so limited on my knowledge.
I got on recipezzar the other day and they had a whole section dedicated to Italian dishes and I was like OMG I have never heard of most of these. I downloaded a bunch to try. I need to find a good cookbook that just covers hearty Italian dishes. Jon loves Italian food and hiding veggies in tomato sauce is one of the only ways I can get him to eat them.
