"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:
Family Memories from Alan Alsop: This was a favorite of my mother, Thelma Alsop.
Family Memories from Marla Aud Haller: I remember Aunt Thelma with her stockings rolled down around her ankles. She worried about Alan, so I wasn't always on her best side. I was too daring, but she loved me. She was a wonderful cook and a great hostess. She gave me many cooking tips that I still use today. I loved her large house in New Harmony and we used to slide down the banister when she wasn't looking. I remember the caf'e that she and Everette owned in New Harmony and I was able to eat all of the banana splits that I wanted. I remember her playing the piano and singing for everyone, even in her last years.
