Now I know why my mom always told me I should marry an Italian:
homemade pizza
spiedini
arancine
insalata di mare (pulpo! pulpo! pulpo!)
fried shrimp
sausage and pork rib ragu (simmered for 10 hours!)
crab stuffed mushrooms
cioppino with pulpo, calamari, scallops, mussels and fresh, huge crab
fresh, crunchy bread out of the backyard brick oven
homemade wine from the shed in back
meat, cheese and eggplant filled bread loaves
cannoli
And that was just Christmas Eve dinner.
(Yes, I’m huge. No, I don’t care.)
