"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Grandma Loop was known as "Mom" to me. She made these wonderful yummy donuts as a treat to us. Sometimes we would get off the bus at her house and she would have these ready for us after school. I have some wonderful memories of time spent with Mom.
