Mia Famiglia


Mia Famiglia

Poof – flour on the counter

                                          Splat – mash potatoes

                         Poof – more flour

                                                          Crack – one egg

 

there's one food my family can't ignore

Gnocchi.

 

  mostly because we're all together when we have it,

                                       and when we're all together we're

ALL

bickering

                                                                                                      like

typical italians .

 

we dig in                                                            

with our hands                                                                          

getting that mushy dough                                                

 

everywhere.

 

                              everywhere

                                                           just like the    smell    of

Papa's sauce –

                                                                                                       true italian basil

Red Sauce –

 

absolutely intoxicating.

 

plop,   plop,  plop

scoop      

slap – butter                  

sniff              

 

mmmmmm – my favorite food

with my lovably annoying family
