on Elizabeth Street, Little Italy, New York …
“This is what my mother in-law taught me. You take a few tablespoons of tomato sauce, and put in here (with the chopped meat).”
“It keeps the meatballs soft. Not like some people. You get invited to some peoples house, and the Meatballs are hard. I better be careful. I have a lot of friends. If they see this.”
Catherine : “We didn’t have our Honeymoon, so went to Italy years later”
“This is us in Palermo. That’s my aunt. She’s 80 years old. That’s me standing.”
