While I grew up knowing full well that I was an American first and an Italian second, this article about the joys of being an Italian really hit home. Where have all the great traditions gone? In my home, though, the men did their fair share of the cooking.
My favorite tidbit was the blurb about making your own homemade wine. This is definitively something that needs to be brought back.
I urge you to go home, plant a grape vine, and squish your heart away. The next time you give a gift, you can be proud of the product, not the price tag. Please remember to take off your socks and most certainly to wash in between the toes!
