Man that looks goooooood. I'm as Italian as the blarney stone but have always loved Italian food above all others.

Maybe it's the very tiny but strong nostalgic streak in me, but while I write science fiction and horror short stories I love reading personal stories about folks's lives--Robert Cormier's I Have Words to Spend is a favorite in this vein.

If you put together a ping list sign me up.

In a hurry I suppose one could use Ragu, but it's so much better this way. Decent tomatoes would be the key.
