Personal Notes:
I remember making these many times for large enthusiastic family or friend gatherings. We have had memorable meals with Tom's aunt Kathleen and Uncle George and family, my cousin Charlie and family and Pete Decal's family at Cuttyhunk, who felt like my family after our exchange of Italian tales and food!
