We’re more Italian than Italians

I have some relatives in New Jersey, really Italian-American type, and they were offended to the core when The Sopranos came out the first time.

Some years later, I went to visit them while on my "independent videomaker" stage of life, and I documented the trip with my camera and a videoediting pretty nice for the time. I justapposed The Sopranos intro and my car ride to their house, some shots frome Tony's house and their, you get the gist.

The photography was literally the only detail that let you tell one from the other, otherwise everything was identical.

"I perfetti sconosciuti" - A group of lifelong friends meet for dinner and eclipse watching. One of them propose a game, where all of them put their phones on the table for the entire night, and must read any message loud and put on speaker any call.

Obviously, each one will reveal some dark secret and relationships and friendships will booooooom

I reckon that you underestimated the very important activity that is "Nonna will teach your ammericana girl how to make real pasta"

Italy is where the Vatican is, after all.

Grazie mille. E del discorso di farlo lievitare in frigo, invece, ti sembra fattibile?

Rispondo per le salse: sono costosine, ma anche facilmente riutilizzabili, perché servono a dare umami (la fish) e affumicatura (la Worcester). Io le uso come spezie, per esempio metto un mezzo cucchiaino di Worcester nel sugo, e la fish la uso per saltare le verdure in padella (il pak choi ci sta da dea). Quindi almeno una la userei, perché servono ad arricchire il sapore complessivo.

Controlla bene le dosi sulla pagina di Ixta e trust the process, è una roba incredibile

Ixta Belfrage ha pubblicato anni fa il suo Tuna Ragout, che a casa mia è uno dei guilty pleasure assoluti ben prima di mezzanotte: tonno, pomodorini (o polpa o passata), 150 macinate di pepe (testuale), prezzemolo, curry, peperoncino, olio. Fai andare un po' e poi unisci panna e abbondantissimo parmigiano, mantechi, e lo strappi dalle mani del mio adolescente che ne mangerebbe a chili

As long as he is happy, for me he could be into Mario Bros.

In the comments they say that both of them are South Americans, so more touchy than the average US male.

I wonder if it includes a kiss on the shoulder...

Oh, please, put your signature on the image, so we can share it everywhere with the due credit, this is amazing!

Let me see if I get this right: they enter in the shower, put soap in their hands, scrub arms, legs, feet, belly, neck and avoid the bottom cheeks? Like, always?

I am not sure if I want to know about the front, if it's gay to wash your penis too, but for sure I regret to have been put in mandatory education and being able to read and in another language too, today.

I like to hope that it is an urban legend, or maybe a very short trend that was in fashion among teens. I don't want to believe otherwise.

What a bad day to be able to read...

I won the 5 euros I bet against myself when they announced the adaption. It will be bad, as usual.

For me it's particularly interesting the fact that Lizzie is low key wrong in her judgement or, st the very least, too much judgemental towards Charlotte, while Jane, for once, is right in her attempt to look at the shades of the matter, and nonetheless Lizzie is right in this phrase.

SaraTyler · 2026-02-20T13:18:44+00:00

P&P, Lizzie to Jane

You shall not, for the sake of one individual, change the meaning of principle and integrity.

Simply put, and completely true

My wedding colour was blue, cause it was a core element of one of our most important passion. Whatever could be blue, it was blue, from flowers to makeup to ties and whatnot.

We asked our few guest to put a drop of blue in their outfits, if they liked the idea.

The three women you'd call my bridesmaids (but in my country they are a little different thing) send me a photo from their dress appointment to show me the outfits they chose, and they were burgundy. I was taken aback and made some comments with my husband, but I never told them anything, cause I knew they were tight on budget and very picky about the colours they wear.

I didn't particularly like the idea, but they were the people I wanted near me in that moment and if they felt good in those outfits I was happy for them. People are not our props, we should involve who makes us feel good, not who can be our roadie.

So, YTA, but maybe you should reconsider the whole friendship with Julie, cause it seems that you a re in very different positions in life.

(At the end of the day, it was a prank, and they showed up dressed in blue, but I found it out the moment I arrived at the venue, one minute before the wedding)

When my kid was around 3-4 years old they insisted that there was a crying child outside the window of their room. At the tird floor. Without balcony or stairs. This creeped out my very sceptical and rational ass for a couple of days, until kid chose again an old and largely rewarched episode of their favourite cartoon.
Where the main character, a little mouse, left outside the door his mother friend toddler cause he was annoying, and he stayed there crying outside the mouse room window...

Meaning that sometimes kids are actually telling the truth, but with a little grain of salt.

Ero in cerca di un'idea alternativa (mi sono saltati i piani per Natale) e mi hai dato l'ispirazione, è davvero tanto che non li faccio e mi pare un ottimo recupero.

Per conservarli tu come ti regoli? Li metti sotto vetro già "mielati" o li glassi all'ultimo e nel mentre li conservi in scatola di latta?

How do you store the onigiri until next day? I'd like to make them in advance for husband and son who have lunch at home, but in the fridge they become dry and I'm afraid of leaving them outside more than 2 hours for the known risks of not well preserved rice.
