"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:
This is Fire Chief Songey's recipe, he was our neighbor and my most vivid memory is his wife would have me trick or treat for charity, I think pennies for unicef. As a reward she would buy outfits for my Barbies. Looking back she probably spent more than I collected. Lovely people, wonderful memory, 8//17/69.
