Welcome

This blog is for any of the friends, relatives or decedents of Egidio (James) and Felicetta (Fanny) Warino from Youngstown, Ohio. I hope we can use it as a tool to capture the memories of growing up in our family and the times we shared at Grandma's house on Truesdale Avenue.

And the memory of food goes on......

Joann, your blog was so funny. I remember when Grandma and Grandpa would put the big jar of pig's feet on the table, I would run. I was afraid of them. The black round circles floating in the jel (which must, of course, been the allspice) just freaked me out, especially when they would say they were pig's feet! Do you remember, I think they were called lupin's? The boy's would again sit around the food feast and hold the yellow round bean in between their thumb and point finger, squeeze the beans, and try to shoot it out of the skin and into their mouths. Aunt Rose will remember what they are called. I just saw a jar in a little Italian Deli this weekend, and started to laugh at this jar. The guy next to me said, "Are you OK?" to which I replied "Oh, I'm sorry.... my Uncles use to shoot these into their mouths." He picked up the jar and said "Oh really?" I just walked away.

Denise, Your post was so cute. It really is hard to keep everyone straight. I am the "Viscot" queen. So far both recipes are great. The store bought one's just don't get it......
