"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 Bettye: My memories go back so far. . . I remember Grandpa driving up in the milk truck and coming up the steps to the house with a great big smile-his blue eyes twinkling and his red hair ablaze. While we lived down by the Locust Grove, a snake got into the screened-in porch and the neighbor boys came and killed it with a hoe. We had the washing machine out on the back porch. I got my arm caught in the wringer trying to help! I used to visit all the aunts and uncles in the summer. Two weeks at each one. I have great memories of those days.
Grandma didn’t go to church much when I was growing up. She’d have Sunday dinner for everyone. I remember how we’d all sing as we did dishes. I have her Bible Reading book . . .
