It's one of triumph - the kind that is rapidly disappearing from our national psyche. I'm also glad you shared the recipe for meatballs and spaghetti with us. They sound delicious.

Grasping at every little memory she shares and the small bits of information that I have about where she's from. And the trying to figure out what's fact from fiction. <br /><br />Your spaghetti and meatballs sound excellent! And you cake too with all them fresh blueberries.

It's so funny..my Calabrese Italian husband insists that the spaghetti must be eaten first, followed by the meatbalss..he will not allow them to be served togther. I never understood that but I guess that is the way it was eaten in his home.<br /><br />I try a lot of the supermaket type magazines, like "Women's Day" and "Family Circle," recipes. They are usually easy to make, use seasonal ingredients and and tasste good.<br /><br />When I really want to make spmething special "Cucina Italiana" is my "go to" magazine.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-45458091226596327922010-01-27T11:08:56.042-06:002010-01-27T11:08:56.042-06:00It was great to read more about you grandmother!
