Here is a picture of the family, after their skype call to Italy. They spoke with their cousin Nella Ruscito in Liguria, Italy. Mom,
uncle Ralph in the blue shirt, and Uncle Ben in the orange shirt and
Aunt June enjoy a true summer lunch that was ofte made by their mother. Fresh bread accompanied the meal.
Unfortunately, we ended the skype session five minutes
before uncle Ben came in. Another call will take place in August. Then Nella's mother, Zia Leonarda, will join the call as she will be visiting with her daughter at that time. Technology a beautiful thing!
We are 2nd generation Italo Americans from the Puglia Region. Our story is like many Italo Americans brought together via tradition, laughter, family and food. Since we could walk, we were in our grandparents' gardens reaching for the prized "seed" tomato. The "tasty tomato" is our life force; metaphor for love, food, tradition, memories, comfort, the market, summer canning, harvest, celebration, and much more. Share our family traditions as we build upon the legacy of our Italian Ancestry.
Food Is...
Family, Tradition, Memories, Flavors, Gatherings, Laughter, Life, Vitality, Comfort...Love.
