Because we had to fast until Communion, we always went to the early mass on Sunday morning. We'd be all dressed up and, weather permitting, we'd walk to church. On the way home, we'd stop at the bakery and get danish for breakfast. After breakfast, my mom would make the meatballs and gravy, or we'd eat at my grandmother's. Sometimes we would have ravioli. It was always made from scratch on this special wooden board and my job was to pinch the edges together with a fork.
