Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is not "TEX-Mex" or should we say "TEX-Italian". Lorraine is full-blood Italian with her 13 siblings (pictured above). Lots of black headed, olive complected, handsome brothers and beautiful sisters in the Caputo family from New York City. Lorraine's mother (seated, in pink sweater next to Lorraine in center of picture) was a wonderful cook and past that talent and wonderful recipies to Lorraine.
