Linkmaster Margie’s "Website of the Month" La Cucina Eoliana e Siciliana, Take a Cyber Trip to Italy! http://chef2chef.net/links/favorites.htm ---------------------------------------- Your Tour Guide, Kenneth Albert Calascione "Many of the recipes gathered on these pages originate from the Eolian Islands. However, it is impossible not to include recipes from mainland Sicily, Messina Province and especially several family recipes, since my grandmother and mother were both excellent and intuitive cooks. My passion for anything culinary began in the kitchen of our home in Brooklyn, New York. The fragrant aromas emanating from my mother’s cooking had my attention from a very early age. I spent hours with her there, whether helping, watching or tasting samples of her delicious and tender polpetti, or dipping a piece of bread into a pot of sugo to sample its various cooking stages. Her culinary abilities, now permanently imbedded in my palate and memory, have been an ongoing inspiration throughout my career and my life."

"Luck of the Irish" Lore ----------------------------------------- The four leaf clover is Ireland’s favorite symbol of good fortune, but that’s only one-quarter of it’s power. The first leaf symbolizes Hope, the second leaf is Faith, and the third leaf is Love. It’s the fourth leaf that is the lucky one! How did this all start? Seems like it was with St. Patrick himself….. At one time vast amounts of snakes occupied the lovely shores of Erin. St. Patrick brought shamrock plants to Erin's devastated shores and planted them everywhere. The shamrocks flourished and soon all the snakes began to leave. The people marveled at St. Patrick's feat and asked why and how this was possible. As the shamrock three leaves are joined into a single stem, so is The Trinity three-in-one, was the wise man's reply. And from that day to this day, serpents are not to be seen on Ireland's shores. But the shamrocks bloom plentiful in all their glory. The legend concludes that as long as shamrocks continue to bloom, he who picks one, will continue in a path of luck. ----------------------------------------- 7.
