"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:
Personal Notes:
The filling for Mim's lemon pie was referenced without additional baking instructions such as pouring it into a baked crust & adding/lightly browning the egg whites. This may have implied that she just poured the lemon filling into a prepared crust with or without the egg white topping, or perhaps she topped the cooled pie with whipped cream. I adore thinking about the possibilities!
