I really wasn't taught -- I mean I was taught a little, enough to get by, but my mom wasn't much of a cook so it's really only thanks to my dad I can even make the few things I can make...but honestly Julia Child could have been my mom and I still would have ended up al ousy cook -- I just don't have that gene -- I really hate cooking.

And not too fun for the people who have been picked for the jury. Guess that is why there were 4 hung juries :0

How about chocolate chip? I was in charge of taking people's donations, counting them out, and putting them out on trays, five or six kinds of cookies on one tray, wrapping them, putting ribbons and tags on them. Some people had some odd ideas about cookies, and one kid -- and I have to give him credit, the kid did the cookies all by himself, brought over cookies than ranged from one inch to about four inches in diameter. They were hard to plate, but I managed.

That doesn't mean that anyone (even Italians) can't try something new. Probably even better. It's exactly as I stated about my mil. She doesn't get out much, she doesn't try anything new, (cooking & non-cooking).

It's fine if you want to have a very limited world.

When a Italian says he/she is putting on a pot of "sauce" or "gravy" on a Sunday, it means red or meat sauce, IME.

I think she means it sounds like it might be an Italian word, like pasta or lasagna.

Not likely to happen, since the parents are very controlling. They only make friendships possible if they approve of the family, and they do not approve of the divorced.

I like a lot of things that are not particularly healthy for you....my northern European roots tell me, for instance, that there is no such thing as too much butter. But I do not like things that are not food, such as Velveeta or things "flavored" with high fructose corn syrup.

ITA with you. We have a few we like too and stick with them but ones that I have had out of state (different states, different places, different times AND from hearing from people who live in these places and try different places) have never compared.
When replanted NYers come "home" they don't leave without having pizza, bagels, chinese food and usually some type of pastry (from an Italian Bakery) :)
