  1. My father made octopus salad every year. One Christmas eve I ate so much…along with 7 fishes served 11 different ways… I got sick. great memories. My grandmother, mother, ant aunt spent the day cooking in the kitchen preparing the feast and my grandfather, father, and uncle in the garage opening several dozen clams for clams on the half shell and baked and fried clams. That night mattresses to the floor for one big family sleepover.

  2. Thank you for the wonderful recipes. With all due respect and with the kindest intentions, I feel compelled to point out that the correct spelling of grandfather in Italian is nonno, and grandmother is nonna. The possessive of these words would be nonno’s and nonna’s. I realize that in some families these references have been shortened to noni, but when sharing such information with the general public, you might consider using the more proper reference. Just a suggestion. Thanks again.
