"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 was handed down to Gram from a church friend. They made the rolls on Saturday evening so they could be set out to rise while in church. They are still the hit at our Sunday dinners or anytime. Our family loves to have black raspberry preserves with these rolls.
