Speaking of huge dinners... holidays at my grandmother's we'd have the posta, meatballs, sausage, eggplant, fresh Italian bread, etc. The works!!! \:\) Well, my mother would of course volunteer my sister and I to clean up the table \:\/ only to make room for the breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, corn etc. That's two complete meals in one sitting. \:o This is not including the dozen or so desserts that everyone would bring.

It took my dad (her son) and uncle to finally convince her it was way too much, not only work, but food, and convinced her to have one main course. She was always worried that there wouldn't be enough, which would be the ultimate embarrassment for any Italian family. (Like anyone was gonna starve)
