I have no idea how to write it in Italian but it is phoenetically "dendrachule e ova" at least that is how our family pronounced it.

She was actually my grandmother's sister, but when Grandma died when I was a kid, she took over as my grandmother. She was an amazing cook and was happiest feeding the family. During my teenage years she would stay at my house in Jersey when my parents traveled. I typically gained 5 to 10 lb.s during her visit. My mother would stock the freezer and pantry with all the things needed. If I didn't want seconds, she knew something was wrong. One Saturday for lunch she made pepper & egg sandwiches. I never liked cooked peppers, but could never hurt her feelings in any way. I forced down the sandwich, but could not have seconds. That was 40 years ago, and it was the last P & E sandwich I ever had. <br />Aunt Mary lived alone in her Washington Heights tenement apartment until she had to go to a nursing home in her eighties. She lived there for over 60 years, and even though she was the only non-hispanic person left on the block, she refused to leave. This was a very tough neighborhood in the 1970's, but the people in her building loved her, and kept an eye on her. One day walking home from Mass, some creep grabbed her pocketbook and ran. Aunt Mary could only run a block or so in her old-lady black shoes, and didn't catch him. He certainly would have regretted it if she did. She probably had a couple of bucks in the bag, but that wasn't the point.<br />On another note: my mom grew up in Brooklyn, and when she got mariied and my dad brought her out to Jersey, there was a stipulation. She found a company that would home-deliver wooden cases of heavy glass seltzer bottles and U-Bet chocolate syrup to Jersey. There was no way her kids weren't going have egg creams.jerseypauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524795451123779266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-66465089365960094522011-04-15T00:27:24.800-04:002011-04-15T00:27:24.800-04:00Simple food is sometimes the best:) I like this se...Simple food is sometimes the best:) I like this seeing it's so simple to put together:DJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517771659910444299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-85055420612449452122011-04-12T20:58:14.682-04:002011-04-12T20:58:14.682-04:00Oh yea, I grew up eating these and love them still...Oh yea, I grew up eating these and love them still.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-53365667504779055562011-04-12T18:42:18.969-04:002011-04-12T18:42:18.969-04:00To everybody but THS: Glad you like.To everybody but THS: Glad you like.Mister Meatballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894424419777471903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-6122630370861467232011-04-12T18:16:42.527-04:002011-04-12T18:16:42.527-04:00Great story!
