Wordful Wednesday...

Work, Work, Work... but they loved it!
My cousin, Joe, and my two oldest...
I loved this balloon sculpture...
Johnny stirring the pasta... the pot was big enough for him to climb into and take a bath if needed!!!
Ready to serve!

This is where we spent our entire Sunday... at a beautifully decorated Sons of Italy hall...
Cooking Mushrooms and wine... for Chicken Marsala... Making trays, and trays, and trays of food... Roasted Red peppers... Mmmm... Cannoli's... Shells hand made by my Zia and cousins, filling made by my Mama and me... Salad course... Chafing dishes ready for our food...
Miles of trays of my Mama's homemade Italian cookies...
More trays...
The night before... on my island... all the bruschetta bread ready for the next day...

    I agree with Alicia! It all looks absolutely wonderful - when can I come?! By the way, I love all the snapshots of you on your banner. You are doing a very good job of getting over exactly my idea of Una Mamma Italiana!! Wonderful!

    Ok-Before I met my Darling Hubby, I dated an Italian for five years. (I always thank God for 'unanswered prayers' that I didn't marry him-but his family!!! Oh, do I miss them and his mom who was one of 11 Itallian children to 'Nonna')
    Your pictures made me sooo hungry, and miss the darling family I have so many good memories with. There is NOTHING like an Itallian family-so much love, fun, so much!!!
