Well, Shana,
Just how old are you? 'cause guess where I was brought up? BATAVIA !!!! I graduated in '65 and my dad taught school in Geneva, Batavia, and ST Charles! I bet we have some memories to discuss..

Searcher, I was born in Da Bronx and my maiden name is Gulotta...my dad made THE best meatballs
and my mom made killer Zeppoli's. I still get nostalgic when I hear Frank Sinatra sing.
I now live in the southwest where I can get Mexican food to my heart's content, but a decent pizza? Fuggedaboudit. I did make my own last night and it was good.

Western and Chatty,
There's a pizza place here called Idaho Pizza Co.
My first thought - what's it made of potatoes??? I used to get such great Italian food in Chicago neighbors and restaurants. oh boooo hoooo. Idaho Pizza . That's a little like saying Italian barbecue. I too can get good Mexican at least. Western yu say DA Bronx, Chicagoans say de Bears. I think I miss your dad's meatballs too.

You DRIVE too fast?? Ohhhh I get it. well, me too then. If you could see the butter I cook with, I've just GOT to cut that out. Don't know how tho', been doin' it for so long.....Made short ribs today(it's rainy and chilly) with butter and red wine - smells sooooo good, lots of onions and about 6 cloves of garlic - crusty bread, lots of "juice" - well, I'm just excited!!

I really don't have a Bronx accent, Searcher. I only lived there 7 years. That's cute, you miss my dad's meatballs! Whaddya say whenever I finally get up to visit my brother in Idaho, we meet somewhere? He's up near Clearwater.
Chatty, I am gonna go check out that Guinea website right now!

That'd be the greatest, only I don't even know where Clearwater is -- but I guess you'd have to come thru' Boise anyway - well, probably.
I don't have a Chicago accent either. Well, at least I don't THINK I do....but they used to call me the midwestern Fran Drescher, so I'm thinking it's a possibility. LOL But I haven't lived in Illinois for 22 years. Prob'ly sound more like the people in Fargo, you betcha..Or maybe both..YOu betcha de Bears is great!!!!

If you are a Guinea (which I am) it's ok to say it, right? If I DID offend anyone I'm sorry!! I was making fun of myself.
