Julie, so good to hear from you and SO glad you liked the post, whew. I decided to write this this week after we ate the sauce (yet again). It always gets a good review

Liz, thanks so much for your post about Mom’s linguine with clam sauce. I haven’t thought of it in years, and your post made me smile & tear up a little bit.

I had a similarly fun/unexpected/I think I might have actually taught them something experience when I spoke to the third graders at the elementary school around the corner from me about our neighborhood history. But I sure was glad I was the guest speaker and not the full-time teacher! I can’t imagine a room full of wiggly, hand-raising, cute kids all day every day — and you actually have to teach them!

Glad you posted this story, Liz ! You spoke to the great Mr. Ebert and….he was kind !
It surprises me how those in the limelight synonym their popularity with snobbishness. I’m glad to hear you had a very different experience with this man. Well done !

Very funny! I have felt the cruelty of census pages myself. Great tip.

Commas ! Sometimes the bane of a reader’s read. Thanks for an interesting “read”, Liz. Perfectly placed commas and….loved the sheep !

Comment on Ancestral Dish: Sludge? Stew? Slumgullion! by Cindy Macsuibhne

Juanita my family was of Czech origin and we lived in a Slovenia area of Cleveland, Ohio and my grandma born in 1919 always called it slumguillion..my husband was Irish and never heard of it..later in life I heard it called Marcaroni Creole and after we moved to southeastern Ohio they served it at school and my kids called it Johnny Marzetti perhaps it’s suggested because of the Ohio based Marzetti Company. I always related to a Bohemian origin
