The lasagna sounds great! I do most of the Italian cooking in my house though my wife’s a fantastic cook who does everything from Thai to Indian to Chinese to her speciality; the classic British Roast Dinner complete with wonderful Youkshire Pudding. My thing is Southern Italian-Sicilian cooking. We live in Sicily, so you can guess how wonderful the ingredients for that sort of cooking are! Auguri di Buon Natale!
My husband and I traveled across Italy in 2019. Started in Venice, a day trip to Piza, a few days in Florence, a few days in Rome, and a day trip to Naples. The food was outstanding.
We had wanted to go back in 2020 and spend more time in Naples, then Cinque Terra, then Milan. Covid shut the world down, then it shut me down. Hope to get back there.
Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo!
I envy you- my adopted family is Sicilian, my grandparents are from Casteldaccia.
Our Christmas culinary tradition is making sausage bread. My wife is 100% Sicilian, her grandparents hailed from Sambuca.
The sausage bread is a carryover from her mother, who made it every year at Christmas. We made 6 this year, Christmas Eve morning. They’ll all be gone by tonight!
Buon Natale!
