Merci for your reply. Carlo tells me that you are Italiano. My stepmother is pure Italian,(Luccesi and Turino)What an experience for our family. Food became the main event, and my papa, my brother, and I, all very skinny, suddenly gained weight. We had never put food on the table for a second helping, let alone experiencing the wonderful holiday feasts that Nonnie would prepare to include the homemade raviolis.
About traditions, we always went to my grandpere's ranch for Easter, and all the kids went searching for eggs. The funny part was to watch my older cousins, teaching us as well, to steal the stuffed eggs as my grandmere would make them. Of course, she knew. I have changed the recipe a little.
You must judge the ingredient amounts according to the number of hard-boiled eggs and seasonings according to taste.(That is the best part.):
Mash the yolks with a fork until fluffy Add enough mayo--the best, to moisten the yolks The folloiwng should just be put on top, and stirred in all together Chop scallions extremely fine..add a little of the greens Grate ever so finely some green bell pepper About l to 3 of the number of eggs, mash cocktail shrimp until barely meaty Add some dijon mustard Add some curry powder Just a little salt
It is wonderful to think of Spring, and all the beautiful flowers. I so miss gardening since I moved to Phoenix. Although my townhome is lovely, we have that blasted heat.
I am curious. What is your new mayor like?
Take good care; Love and God Bless, Angelique
Another Easter story she told: As a child she was not allowed to eat candy (amazing since her family was in the candy business). She laughed when she found a chocolate Easter bunny hidden in her papa's dresser.
I know her friends like you, will keep her memory alive here and in our hearts.
