Pita Piata

Last Christmas Joey & I attempted to make Pita Piata's. He had something like a recipe from grandma, and something off the internet that was pretty close....
While I moving, I found I HAVE AN ACTUAL RECIPE right in the drawer next to my oven. Oh well, next year.These pages are scanned from "Arrivederci: Recipes and Customs Every Italian Girl Takes from Home". I could have swore we went through this book, but maybe we were partaking of the Jack Daniel's that Grandma's recipe called for.

What kind of Car did you learn to drive in?



We were thinking the other day about how much fun our cars have been over the years. We've always had eyes for nice automobiles, even if our pocketbook didn't match our admiration.

I remember Dad taking me to the parking lot of the Armory and leaving me in his Dodge truck (which had a clutch) while he walked around and sat on the nearby knoll. I didn't learn how to use the clutch until a year later, when Ed showed me on his 71 Camaro.

I did drive the 1967 Chrysler New Yorker, something like this one.



I think Patsy got to learn to drive on the 1962 (or was it a '63?) Chrysler 300, in Red with black leather seats!
