"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Mary Damico was Joan's mother. I wish I had met her. Joan says my Mom reminded her of her own. These homemade recipes are the best. Experiment with it if it doesn't come out perfectly right the first time.

Joan and Frank were so good to my Mom. They used to pick her up and take her to the 50+ Club at St. Matthew, since I had to work. Frank also drove her for her chemo treatment pretty regularly. What great people!
