    Was not expecting a delicious pasta tutorial, what a nice gift, and the tip with the sifter to keep the flour from getting in the water; so simple yet I would not have thought of it in any lifetime, happiest of birthdays!
    The battered shrimp looks so good, how did they cram all that batter and spice onto those shrimp?

    I’m off to finish seasoning the beef cubes I managed to get on sale, been simmering it with spices and carrots for a couple hours but it needs a good while before it’s truly tender.

    Happy birthday Mama Mallozzi! That video was beautiful and fascinating to watch your Mom making a favourite dish. I tried making my own pasta a couple of years ago… now I know why it wasn’t so great. You, Mom and Sis look well. Enjoy the time together.

    Your mom looks awesome! Happy Birthday to her!!!

    After following you several years, and looking at all those pics of your family, I decided I want your mom to adopt me 😉

    Hope you all had an enjoyable day.

    Happy Birthday Mama Mallozzi!
    So glad you were able to make it up there for her birthday, Joe.
    Let me guess.The Peanuts Christmas sheets were Andria’s idea, ?
    Ya know its really kinda funny, considering i grew up surrounded by so many italian families
    in my hometown, albeit I never once had pistachio tiramisu and have never seen it on a menu
    at a restaurant or in a bakery anywhere in NY over the years.
    As much as i love Tiramisu and all sweet pistachio treats,
    guess i never fully realized that until now.
    Does your mom make it with lady fingers? or does she use sponge cake?

    Health update coming up in the next day or two. (still having PC and internet problems.)

    Don’t forget to stop off at SMP’s to grab a hot pastrami on rye, for me, eh!

    Hugs n Love to all, Always. XO

    By The Way, You do realize it’s been two years
    and you still haven’t come up with a really
    good revenge prank, to get even with Buddy.
    C’mon now! A used bandaid in your food cant be all that difficult to top!! 😀
