Oh, that makes me hungry. I had an Italian born Aunt. Mmmm, I can smell the sauce cooking. *drool*
My great uncle came back from WWII with an Italian war bride. WOW, could she cook! Pretty exotic stuff for our very WASP family. LOL She joined the Episcopal church that the family atteneded, but other than that she remained a true Italian.
Lots of garlic, pasta and spice. I miss her.
Took the words out of my mouth. You have to know this is gotta be close to the best food in the city.
