"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:
This yummy recipe always reminds me of hot summers spent at the farmhouse of my grandparents in Murdo, South Dakota. Those visits almost always included a trip to the Badlands, Wall Drug, or the Black Hills (or, if we were lucky, all three!). Not much to do in the heat in a small town like Murdo. Happily, our grandparents lived next to Graham's Motel. The Graham family had children our age, and - best of all - they had a swimming pool we could use!
