Hello to our cherished family and friends! The Fragassi Gang joins the technical blogging world to share its story with you. Our desire is to bring the stories of food, family, traditions and laughter to your table. Of course, the family restaurant La Campagna will be featured, as it is a central hub of activity. La Campagna is a dream of girl 2. She dreamed of opening up a restaurant that featured her family recipes.
Finally the dream came true and the rest of the gang joined to help the dream flourish. Today, 3 girls, 1 boy and of course mama are La Campagna's heart. On occasion, one of the girls who lives in Georgia also helps out when in town. Throw in a couple of grandchildren, great grandchildren, son-in-laws and close family friends to round out the full entourage. We are blessed to have a strong support system of "family" to bring you our story.
Each week, we plan to post something new for you. As there are 4 girls, 1 boy and the tasty tomato, you will read from each of us from time to time. The "tasty tomato" will be a narrator of sorts, bringing us together, much like a great Sunday pasta sauce.
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.
