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.

Warino delicacies

My Mom says that when she was growing up, Grandpa would bring home calf kidneys and Grandma would have to boil them over and over to make make sure that the urine was out (lovely, huh?) before she would fry the kidneys with peppers. Anyway my mother said the house would stink so bad never realizing that the smell was pee!! She didn't like the kidneys when they were fried either! She doesn't remember if the boys liked them but she remembers that Aunt Mary did. Speaking of Aunt Mary, growing up she ate a dish that Grandma made and encouraged her to try but didn't tell her what it was. After eating and liking it, she asked what it was and Grandpa told her it was the goiter of a cow. Needless to say Aunt Mary wasn't happy! Grandma and Grandpa laughed and laughed. Meanwhile Aunt Mary got mad at my mother for not telling her what it was.
