      One my family makes every Easter is Italian Meat Pie. A pie crust filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and many Italian meats, like Italian sweet sausage, salami, prosciutto, ham, and pepperoni. My grandpas favorite! Everybody has their own version.

      Ricotta pie traditionally made at Easter, sometimes with orange and another version with meats. Rice pie is something I'd like to duplicatebut haven't yet. Pepper cookies, crunchy and dippable. I came here to make this for my brothers Antonio and Benito.

      Amen.
      When my son was small, we would make Mickey Mouse and Frosty the Snowman pancakes and cookies, like all moms do.
      Then he got older... 4th grade.
      I pulled out the kitchen stool for him to stand on, with the largest russet potatoes I could find.
      Sliced them approximately 1/4" thick, lengthwise. He is a boy, and I knew that one day he would discover knives, right?
      Taught him to put a wet paper towel under the cutting board, so it didn't slide. Safety first.
      We cut out thin Mickey Mouse and Frosty the Snowman, triangles, squares, circles and ovals of potato slices, and fried them with our ham/bacon and eggs for breakfast.
      Repeated it many times, so he would learn to handle a knife safely. Always with the handle extended, fingers tucked in so as not to come in contact with the cutting edge.
      I continued to help him have a collection of pocket knives over the years. Almost 50 before he was 16.
      No one in our State can buy a pocket knife until they are over 18. "Mom, would you come over here?" was his text at Swap Meets and convenience stores. I am on aisle 12.
      Funnier than kraut. Little did they know... he had several sets of Samurai swords, all mounted, a few dozen pocket knives, and a 15-pound Excaliber replica mounted on his wall. Set me back $125.
      Today, he is an athlete supreme, and a Soldier, a Weapons Specialist (guns mostly).
      Don't know where that came from, lol.
      Know what he taught me, while a single mom?
      Hold the knife handle in one hand. Take your thumb nail and run it from the handle to the tip... carefully! Close your eyes or look off on the distance. Block all else out.
      Your thumbnail will tell you where the indents are, and it needs to be sharpened.
      Whoodathunkit, right?, lol.

      Or just run a few batches through your KitchenAid Mixer, right? 🤔
      You can quadruple recipes in a very large plastic or stainless steel bowl.
      Take the stainless steel bowl that came with the mixer off. Set aside.
      Slant the large plastic bowl or large stainless steel bowl at an angle under the dough hook or whisk, and whip up some cookie dough in 10 minutes flat.
      WARNING!!
      DO NOT USE CERAMIC OR GLASS BOWLS FOR THIS APPLICATION! ONE WRONG MOVE, AND THEY CAN SHATTER IN YOUR HANDS, and it's a 911 call or a trip to the Emergency Department.
      Seriously!
      Works for cookies or bread, pizza dough. Whipping cream to soft or firm peaks? You betcha!
      Paid over $300 for mine long ago. Worth every penny. Small bowl? Just switch it out.
      If you are considering buying a stand mixer, watch for the horse power.
      It makes a serious difference if you use it often. It is an investment and will last you for decades to come.
      Many great, awesome brands out there, but KitchenAid is the best, in my opinion.
      Note my name, lol.
      Do your research, take notes, consider how long you will need it, what your specific needs/applications are, etc.
      THINK: 10 or 20 years from now... then look back to today.
      Have had my KitchenAid stand mixer for over 30 years, and still love it. Ordered the sausage/meat grinder and the pasta maker attachments long ago. Well worth it!
      Hope this helps, sweetheart.

    I absolutely love this. My dad was born in Veroli . They came to the US in 1928. This was always a staple in our home. Daddy use to tell me about going down to town and baking in huge ovens, I think he said stone ovens. I have tried for years to make them taste like gramma's but didn't quite get it right. I could never get that twist in it. I am so excited to use your recipe. I was just telling my husband about my gramma making the sign of the cross over her bread before baking. It was a great, memorable cry I had since my dad and gramma are both gone. Thank you so much for this video. It really made my day..

      ProtoCooks with Chef Frank It’s great! On the outskirts of New Orleans is Kenner, LA. Way back when (meaning a hundred years ago or so), Italian/Sicilian immigrants built a farming community to be the green grocers to New Orleans. Also they moved to a very rural (then) area north of Lake Pontchartrain called Independence, LA. That latter is near Des Allemands (French for the Germans), where Germans immigrated - supposedly adding much sausage and beer brewing to the already established French/Spanish/Creole-African/Native American ((especially for seasonings & probably for local seafood)) cuisine of the already ritzy folk of New Orleans. This is as I recall from public tv WYES shows about local cooking history. Ireland also sent a population of Nuns and others to New Orleans so in normal years, since it’s New Orleans, there are a few street walking krewes and a few float parades for either St Patrick’s (cabbage, potatoes & carrots are tossed to the crowds-Yes!-buy your own corned beef!) or St Joseph’s day or both combined into one parade at locales in & around New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps roulez! // Let the good times roll! No parades last year or this year due to the virus arriving earlier during Mardi Gras. No Mardi Gras parades or balls this year. But wait till next year!!! 🤩🤩🤩. Thanks so much for the good memories and great recipes and how-to helps. Im older and have some mobility issues plus quarantined in the Northshore area of piney woods/rural&urban residences north of Lake Pontchartrain and it is lovely. High ground. Oh, the Italians also contributed many jazz musicians and big bands like local Louis Prima.

    Or just run a few batches through your KitchenAid Mixer, right? 🤔
    You can quadruple recipes in a very large plastic or stainless steel bowl.
    Take the stainless steel bowl that came with the mixer off. Set aside.
    Slant the large plastic or large stainless steel bowl at an angle under the dough hook or whisk, and whip up some cookie dough in 10 minutes flat.
    WARNING!!
    DO NOT USE CERAMIC OR GLASS BOWLS FOR THIS APPLICATION! ONE WRONG MOVE, THEY CAN SHATTER IN YOUR HANDS, and it's a 911 call or a trip to the Emergency Department.
    Seriously!
    Works for cookies or bread, pizza dough. Whipping cream en masse to soft or firm peaks? You betcha!
    Paid over $300 for mine long ago. Worth every penny. Small bowl? Just switch it out.
    If you are considering buying a stand mixer, watch for the horse power numbers.
    It makes a serious difference if you use it often. It is an investment and will last you for decades to come.
    Many great, awesome brands out there, but KitchenAid is the best, in my humble opinion.
    Note my name, lol.
    Do your research, take notes, consider how long you will need it, what your specific needs/applications are, etc.
    THINK: 10 or 20 years from now... then look back to today.
    Have had my KitchenAid stand mixer for over 30 years, and still love it. Ordered the sausage/meat grinder and the pasta maker attachments long ago. Well worth it!
    Hope this helps.
    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you Frank, but you worked way too hard on this one.
    Saved taking the time to get to the Gym, though, right? Got a decent cardio, biceps, tricepts workout out of it?
    Yup, and we were just watching you two, lol.

    I know these... I didn't like the licorice/anise... also, most that I encountered were rock hard and wouldn't fit on your arm...

    There's no "r" in the pronunciation. It should be CHA-ME-LA.

      This is great! Thank you! I'm also Ciociara and I make these occasionally with my mother who is from Fontana Liri, Frosinone.

      No one cares. We love Frank, and it's not all about eeew, and those that say FIRST, SECOND, 20TH, etc.
      It's ALL ABOUT THEM,
      their efforts,
      their time,
      their techniques,
      their cameras,
      their lighting... and the setting up for a vlog, getting the right guest or recipe, telling the wife, kids and pets to be quiet to make a successful vlog - to help us all become better home cooks/chefs...
      Google: YT comments, social etiquette, Class level 101.
      Love you, but reality is still reality, right? 👏
