I don’t know who Giles is, but I love him already (like a son, of course). Giles, I am such a Soup Nazi!! That is so funny! (though I am “half” Jewish, so can’t really be a Nazi). Here’s a story about my Aunt Mary Scaramuzza “the ORIGINAL pasta Nazi”.

My Aunt Mary Scaramuzza was “a Soup Nazi” long before there was “A Soup Nazi”. Back in Philly, where I am from, my Nanou and Aunts were (and still are) in the home made pasta making “business”. Aunt Mary would actually cook the food according to your dialect/region of Italy for you ONLY if you were a widowed man. This way you wouldn’t miss your poor, departed wife so much. She made dinner for the poor, widowed man exactly the way his wife would have made it and gave it to him hot and ready to bring home and eat.

Well one of these men told another man and he came to Aunt Mary’s Store (not a restaurant) and asked for Sicilian (sig lee ahn)-’soft g’) ravioli (differentiated from Abrusezze (ah broot say zay) ravioli or snooty Napolitano (Nah bla don) ravioli).

When the man came in to pick up his Sicilian ravioli, he said to Aunt Mary “Oh, my WIFE is going to love this!!”

My Aunt Mary Snatched! the ravioli out of his hand and said “GET OUT!! I do NOT cook for LAZY wives! LOL

Thanks Giles, for the trip down memory lane. (the poor spell checker can’t handle this post – says “error on page” LOL)

    hahaha… well that wasn’t where i expected that thread to go but funny none the less.

    I think that’s what everyone used to love about Seinfeld so much… the strange but obviously true urban legend story lines they were based off of.

    We’d give you the recipes, but then we’d have to kill ya :-)

    Seriously, though, my Aunt Mary is a DellaLoggia who married a Scaramuzza. So the recipes are DellaLoggia from my grandmother who was formerly a DiLuzio who married a DellaLoggia.

    Two DiLuzio’s came to this Country and made a slew of relatives. They were my grandmother Mindina and her cousin Tony. They each had eight or nine kids who had kids who had kids… I am one of seven children…the middle one.
