I must not be a typical white person since my great grandfather arrived at Ellis Island in 1910 on a boat named the Florida. He came here from Sicily all by himself at the age of 18 and made a good life for himself. He worked hard and raised my grandfather to be an American who still new how to make wine and cook good food.
ah, a Sicilian livin la dolce vida, the good life, did that perhaps involve the business end of a tommy gun? (sarcasm turned to the max)... I’m 1/2 Italian so I can’t help crack the mafia jokes sometimes (there’s no such thing as the mafia!!)..
My girlfriend’s grandparents came here in the early 1900’s from Sciaca, Sicily, and settled in Bay Ridge, New York.
Oh, the recipes and food that family makes!! And the funny superstitions!
