    Those "brown crunchy bits" are called fond. There is nothing more rewarding than cooking for the people you love. Enjoy it while you can. I cooked for my dad every day for 15 years while we took care of one another. I was lucky enough to be his arms and legs but he was my strength.

    This video and series has been popular for 5 years, why? because Brian lays down the principles of a happy life first hand, understanding your roots, understanding the simple pleasures in life, and good food and good wine.

      as far as my genetics and family history show, there's not a drop of Italian in me. BUt when I was stationed in Napoli for 4 years [lucky me, I got to watch Maradona play for 4 years at the height of his career], it was clear I had found my people. SUch a 100% difference from the phony, cold people I grew up with in Mormon-dominatd Utah. When I was preparing to ship back to the states at the end of my time, many of my dear Napoletano friends were all but crying LOL

Used it over pasta with braised shrimp. Served the same white wine I used in the sauce. This is so fricking good I can't believe I made it myself. Thanks!

      Wonder if he still vacations in that village, since he came out gay. They seem very traditional, but who knows? They need people to come and renovate the old homes, but they want families , bc Italy has a lower birth rate than the US. I think it's more like Japan's, in fact it's currently lower.
