Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Wednesday, 30 November 2011. What is the Meaning of Al Dente? There are only two answers to that question. One is short; the other one endless.

Pretty simple isn't it? And yet something is missing. Where's all the emotion, hand gesticulation, anxiety? It's not cooked.". I looked at ...

Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Monday, 27 June 2011. This is the week to reminisce about our roots and be thankful for all we have here. While many of us will sing or hear our national anthem on Friday, there's another song I think of at this time of year called Che Sara. By I Ricchi e Poveri. Do you remember that tune from the early 70s? Sponsored by his Zia who had emigrated to Canada in 1928, my dad sailed for Halifax from Sicily in 1951. He took the. Half her family had left two yea...

Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Wednesday, 29 February 2012. Much of the good times and hilarity I remember was rooted in our frugal roots. Learning to live on less and making the most of what we had. Whether or not it was tomato season. Was a religion that few of us practice anymore. But back to the story I first wrote in 2009.

Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Monday, 24 October 2011. Bye for now my Sweet Shepherd's Peppers. At this time of year I silently mourn the end of Shepherd's peppers. Not to be seen in any grocery store around here til sometime late next summer, they disappear unsung.no quiet ceremony bidding them goodbye, no poem to describe how unique and glorious they are. Am I the only one wondering why these heavenly sweet-tasting peppers can't be available year-round? Here's my recipe: a. You had a...

Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Sunday, 31 July 2011. Is That a Bread Crumb or Al Pacino in There? Which got me thinking about our butter dish this week, how it's a magnet for gluten offspring, and what to do about it. Look into your butter dish. Can't you just hear those helpless little breadcrumbs calling out to you all-Al-Pacino-Godfather-Three-like as you dip your butter knife in? Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I'm mixing up some flavored butters. Why? Here are ...

Italian-Canadian heritage, memories and recipes. Wednesday, 8 February 2012. Memories are Made of This. When I was 10 years old, my Dad had a heart attack.

Three days later, Dad suffered another heart attack, only this time it landed him a 3-month hospital stay. It was a game changer for all of us. In came The Osteriz...
