What did you accomplish today?

[tangerinegreen555]

If your ear aches put an earplug in it. It's the air that causes the pain.

I still vividly remember being 4 or 5 and having a heavy duty bad ear infection.

They took me to an ear nose and throat Dr. who literally stuck my ear drum with a needle to lance it. Talk about unbelievable pain.

Then the guy offered me a lollipop and I wouldn't take it.

I wasn't trading pain for a stupid lollipop.

My mom laughed about that for years.

Why is it I'm half Italian and never heard of ziti until the Sopranos?

I still don't know what 'gamma ghoul' is.
Or how to spell it.

Gabagool, Italian-American slang for-----------------------------capicola, and other salumes

I can probably name 10-15 types of pasta without cheating

Idk why I’m not cooking for a living. I thinks it’s because I don’t want to work at a chain restaurant making their food day in and day out. I’d love to have my own place and do a catch of the day style place. Where I could go to the market daily and find whatever catches my eye. And then make a dish around that. It would keep things lively.

I just have a passion for cooking. And it all started with Italian food. Growing up all we ate was Mexican food and that’s all my family eats to this day. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mexican food. I just can’t eat tacos twice a week like my family does.

That's all that was?

Wow. We just called it capicola.

So can I, and I'm not a chef lol

 

[Gary Goodson]

Wait, do I get any cool points for being able to name like 10-15 different tacos without cheating?

 

[Singlemalt]

Wow. We just called it capicola.

yeah so did my family. I believe it's more NY/NJ slang that must have developed after 1938 (my dad was from NY and moved to Calif. in '38 and he never used the term)

My mom used to make a bigger pasta like 5X the size of normal macaroni with gr. beef and sauce.

She called it 'sewer pipes'. We loved it.

My stepmom made that shit too and for some reason we called it “More”? I dunno why but we would usually ask for more.

We were a tough generation. Today kids get general anesthesia for that

I love primavera. But I’ve never paired it with salmon. I’m gonna have to try that.

If we got general anethesia back then, it would have been ether.

I think that's what they used to put me under when they took my tonsils out in 1959.

Lucky the room didn't blow up.

Shit was pretty crude back then, I guess.

We lived though.

Jealous of that fish. Enjoy!
I’m just eating this right now. It’s really good! I had a job at a restaurant once in NJ and we served sorbet right before the main entree to “ cleanse the pallet “.
