"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 recipe, like Rita's Carrot Cake recipe, was found in a "Dear Abby" column in the newspaper. Rita (21) and I (19) were attempting to cook the first Lusco/Moreland Thanksgiving dinner! I can't remember how the meal turned out; but, these two recipes are still being made almost 50 years later. Rita- We started a TRADITION! Love you! -Liz
