Talk about Italian. Just got back from my sister's in Florida. I have a load of her sauce and meatballs in the freezer. She makes it just like mom used to make.

Good stuff Mustache Pete. My favorite is the leftovers.

So I figured I'd put this Italian song medley up I made a while back for my YouTube channel. (lt was taken down by the Roselli family.) Anyways...It is very old school Italian. Your Nonna and Nonno's type music.

Don't blame me though if you get the urge to make sauce or gravy, or put on a pinkie ring, or start reciting Goodfellas, or plant a fig tree in your yard or get yourself a gumad. Maybe it's just best to do none of the above and just listen to one of the best Italian-American singers we had.

If you're not into the old school stuff I put this song up too.

I needed a new furnace so I called up a company. They said 10k to replace it. I called Pops, he says that's too much; I got a guy. So I get it done at the right price. Italian men don't pay retail. (Neither do their kids) They always have a guy.

Grunt Grunt... yes, us old 50 year olds do like your stuff, AG. Good tunes that bring back sweet memories of people we loved who cherished this music. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. smile

Does anyone play bocce? I do, but for fun. Occasionally, I used to compete in tournaments but that was years ago.

Yesterday, I had my kids and my niece and nephew outside playing. I see a lot of potential in them. A few months ago they all stunk but I think I got myself a future bocce team lol.

Oli,

I remember when I was a kid we'd have a yearly family reunion picnic. Many of the then, old timers would play bocce.

Another tidbit, I remember from childhood, upon hearing a cousin or relative got engaged. The first question asked would be "Is he(she) Italian? lol

TIS I always felt sorry for the new girlfriend or boyfriend who was invited to one of the family events. I always tried to make him or her feel comfortable. Italian or not, it's hard to fit in with a tightly knit Italian family. Everybody is considered an outsider. At least that's how my family was. They never trusted anyone "new". Lol

Oh yea, bringing a non-Italian into an Italian family can be interesting, to put it mildly. LOL I know my family always tried to make the new person comfortable. One of the first things I think they notice is how much and how often we eat. lol

Plus,Italian families, at least my family (mom's side especially) talked extremely loud. Newbies thought they were yelling. ha ha ha

You know, looking back there's a lot I cherish those days

I agree TIS. We were always eating too. My family is so loud, you have to hold the phone a foot away so you don't go deaf while trying to have a phone conversation. Thank God for texting. It saved my hearing. lol

The bickering was very common too in our family. When I watch Seinfeld, I feel right at home watching George's parents bicker and yell at each other.

Don't you miss it. I'm going back to Jersey in November. Can't wait smile

No I don't even like to be around those old crazy fucks.

I take my Grand daughter and wife to my local park. They have doowop shows at my local park in the summer. One was Frankie Valli brother Bobbie, Joey dee of the star litters and someone else.

So we are sitting near the Bocce court. Then they are arguing and they are using the f word.

I told the guy to watch his mouth I got my wife and grand daughter here. He says something to me which I did not like. So I sent my wife and my little Mia away to get closer to the music. Then I showed him and his friends what cursing is all about. I am right in his face then gave him a real close look at my fingers and left smile

I don' thumb tack them but hang them around pictures. I always thought it was neat how some people could braid them into a decent looking cross.

Does anyone celebrate St. Lucy's Day with rice balls? confused Might not be a popular tradition with everyone.

Same here we had them on pics and crucifixes on the wall. I do not remember St. Lucy Day. I do remember St. Joseph's Day and helping set up the table in the church hall. My parents were in charge of it for years.

Yes, I remember them around pics of Jesus and Saints. It's nice to toss out these memories and fill in the blanks of things forgotten. smile

Did any of you have the statue of Jesus face? It's the one with the concave face and the face would follow you around the room when you looked at it.

It really freaked me out.
