Yeah, I'd never try and take food away from an Italian, for the sake of continued living. Unless they were an Italian mother offering me food. Then you take it for the same reason.
Ha, my mom wasn't "so bad," but I can only say that because my grandmother would beat basically strangers to bruises with a wooden spoon.
Love her, but I'm also pretty sure she was the source of adult onset diabetes. Ho~ly crap could the woman cook.
She moved back to Italy and is like a hundred-fifty years old.
Oh, and pasta is amazing. Mainly because you can make an infinite number of dishes with it. Toss in some salsa while it cooks.
