Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the shout out regarding my Timpano that I made. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw your comment today. I was born in Chicago and live in the burbs now, and I so much enjoy blogging about being Italian American, in this city filled with so much history of food! Not to mention all of my familiy food trditions. I really appreciate that you noticed.
Thanks Again,
Marie
