Ama, Reading

One of my "people reading" tribe:
Rosaria De Nicola, my Sicilian grandmother, sometime in the 1950s, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


Here she is as a young woman in Milwaukee, with the first three of her ten children.

And here are her two biscotti recipes (SOS = almond & butter, and tu tus = chocolate & spice).

  1. Lovely!

    I see the family resemblance (can't miss it, really) in the linked picture.

    And I can't help but think of this quote from Princess Bride at any mention of "Sicilian"....

    "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."
    (Vizzini)

    I shall keep this in mind in case we are ever leaders of different countries, (possible, but not likely).

    Captcha: grameci---sounds vaguely Italian. I grow more and more suspicious of Captcha.

  2. Vizzini fell over dead shortly after delivering this line, right?
    But I do agree with his other advice: "Never fight a land war in Asia."
