What’s for din din?

Good luck!

Spaghetti alla Putanesca here.

Thanks! Oh Italian! my fav! I come from an Italian family, I still remember my grandmother cooking her Sunday sauce, and I've never had any that even came close to hers!

She of course didn't use a recipe, eh? Did anyone observe what she did?

Did you ever see the movie Big Night? I, mad italophile, highly recommend it.

My mother had her sauce recipe but it wasn’t as good as my grandmothers. I remember my grandmother making bricole, I only found one restraurant that had bricole on the menue but you had to ask for it two days ahead of time and it wasn’t even close to my grandmothers.

I finally figured it out, you're talking about braciola, bricole in dialect, or are you?

Looking through my shelves, I've 5 recipes in one book and haven't hit some of the other likely ones. What region is your family from?

My mothers partnes came here from Sicily, of course both my parents were born here as well as my fathers parents.

That's what I'm finding, Sicily seems the place for it.

Well, I'll stop, my pasta water is boiling.

Happy din din
