Notes: Dorothy is my husband’s sister. Even though she is of German descent, she “cooks Italian” because Mike, her husband, was the son of Italian immigrants from Naples. Mike was the typical first-generation Italian American – no frozen foods on the table and only olive oil and vinegar on the salads.
