 Celebrating a family tradition: food!Wednesday, May 07, 2008 Don't let my name fool you. While my paternal ties are Celtic knots, I was raised by my mother's family, an extended Italian-American clan of aunts, uncles and innumerable cousins. For us, food is more than just sustenance. It's the joyous, sacred communion of family and tradition. |
