"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:
My mom used to make candy often and especially English Toffee. One afternoon when she she was making this candy, i became inpatient. Rather than wait until it was completed, I stuck my finger into the hot candy and, of course, got a big blister on my finger!
