"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

For about 8 years now every December before christmas I have my cookie party with the grand children . No parents. As grown as they have become they are still on the phone " grandma when is you,re cookie party". They all arrive with there platter with there name on used year from year. Then they all go to work , Decorating with bags of frosting Mounds of colored sugar. I must admit over the years they have become very skilled decorators . When the cookies are done they
all then eat there fill of mac and cheese go into the living room for a round of leg wrestling. As they head out the door with there platters filled with masterpieces Another year gone by of the best memories ever. Merry Christmas
