It's my wife's 50th but she doesn't like Lamb's Brains
Has anyone been to Piccolo Angolo?
It's my wife's 50th but she doesn't like Lamb's Brains
I think the problem is she rather go to an Italian American Restaurant. Are there any good ones out there?

Christmas Eve we went to Osteria Morini and she hardly ate a thing.
It's my wife's 50th but she doesn't like Lamb's Brains
I've taken my wife to several great Italian restaurants in the city but she can never seem to find something on the menu that she would enjoy. She is more of a Veal Sorrento, Pasta Bolognese, Oso Buco, Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage kind of gal.
Where can we find a good place that serves this type of food? Price is no object.
Festive Italian Christmas Eve
My wife and I are thinking about spending Christmas eve in NYC. We are both Italian and have been celebrating The Feast of the Seven Fishes since we were born. A fun festive restaurant with great food would be perfect. (more to the great food side than fun) Thank you in advance for your help.

On LARD BREAD, in Brooklyn
I was in Brooklyn last week. There's a bakery called Sal & Jerrys that has lard bread everyday. They also have other stuffed breads. $3 a loaf. They are OK. Dairy Maid Ravioli makes lard bread on occasion that is unbelievable filled with a lot of pork fat and prosciutto.
goes for about 8 bucks. When I was a kid my aunt use to send me to the butcher to buy pork fat. She called it Ciccioli Bread
Canning Tomatoes for sauce
I got 10 bushels of San Marzanos from Corrados today. $17 a bushel and they look nice. They will all be in Mason jars by tomorrow afternoon.
Canning Tomatoes for sauce
Rumor has it plum tomatoes for canning will not be plentiful this year due to all the rain. I was told I should can my tomatoes in the next two weeks. Has anybody else heard this? Has anybody canned yet? How are the tomatoes? San Marzanos? A lot of water?

A Couple Dogs
Every now and then I get an urge for a couple chili dogs. I know where all the good places are but sometimes don't want to drive that far. When I lived in Belleville I would go to the hot dog truck on Franklin. Pretty good chili and onions. Now I live in Berkeley Heights and can't find a good dog anywhere in the area (can't find any good food either). Does anybody know of any places I can get a couple good dogs?
Munchmobile does hot dogs
Hotdoglover, I live in Berkeley Heights. Where are a few good places not too far that I can get a good dog?
Thanks
Ritz Cracker Broccoli Casserole
I tried this casserole at a party last year and really liked it. I was invited to a pool party tomorrow and thought I would bring this. I searched for a recipe and found thousands, but I'm not sure which one is a good one. Does anybody have a good recipe for this casserole?
Thank You

What did you brown bag to school?
In my neighborhood, the birds didn't even eat american bread
What did you brown bag to school?
Mondays lunch was always meatballs from Sundays Gravy on thick sliced panella. The rest of the week would be other left overs like eggplant parm, meatloaf, veal cutlets. If there were no left overs, It would be salami. All sandwiches made with Italian bread and wrapped in aluminum foil. I grew up in an Italian section of Jersey.
Crab Legs In Tomato Sauce
Hi, I have some king crab legs that I would like to serve in tomato sauce over pasta. Would I make a marinara first then add the crab to it and cook, or saute the crab first then add a can of tomatoes to them and cook?
Thanks
Want to make a big pot of spaghetti sauce - have a couple ?
Spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian-American dish. We make "gravy" every Sunday and would never use spaghetti. Rigatoni or Raviolis are more preferred. In our meat gravy would be beef short ribs, pork neck bones, lamb shanks, sausage, meatballs, and braciole. On one occasion I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs for a bunch of friends. I used this recipe and it was great. http://www.italianchef.com/meatballs.html You can make extra and freeze the meat and gravy together.
