Oral Traditions: The Only Way We Do Recipes

Posted on January 3, 2015 by ally • Leave a comment

My family loves food. Good food. My Mama always said it was peasant food that she made but it was sooooooooo good! Her father, my Pop Verderosa, came to the United States from Naples, Italy when he was 13 and Nanny Verderosa was born here although her family came from the same town in Italy. My father my … Continue reading →

What Christmas Means to Me …

Posted on December 25, 2014 by ally • Leave a comment

Ahhhh Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. I love the holiday, not because of the gifts, but because of the overall spirit of the season. Sure there comes stress and grumpy folks to deal with, but the joy seems to melt that all away. I’ve loved Christmas ever since I was a little … Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life

Posted on April 1, 2014 by ally • 13 Comments

Trying to get back on track with blogging regularly, I came across this weekly photo challenge and it was the perfect inspiration. I love telling stories. Whether it’s through words, photographs, or arts and crafts projects, I guess you could say I am a storyteller, and if you did say that, I’d take it as a compliment. … Continue reading →

I Can’t Make You Love Me If You Don’t

Posted on March 29, 2014 by ally • Leave a comment

… Great lyrics and beautiful song by Bonnie Raitt. I’ve always loved it. When I was a naive twenty-something, I used to play it intentionally for a boyfriend of mine who just couldn’t seem to say those three little words to me – I … LOVE … YOU – let alone feel the emotion for me. … Continue reading →

Easter Pies for Nina & Josephine

Posted on March 31, 2013 by ally • 1 Comment

What I love most about traditions is that they connect you to people even after they’re gone. My favorite Easter tradition is baking the Italian meat pies that my Mama taught me how to make. Some people call it Pizza Rustica or Pizza Gain, my family calls it Pizza Piena, which means stuffed pie. And … Continue reading →

Two 24’s

Posted on March 18, 2013 by ally • 4 Comments

It was after 1am. I’d arrived at 11:45 pm anxiously waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Unlike Cinderella, I would not run away as the new day rolled in; I was ready to run toward my prince who would soon walk down the brick path, through the gates and become a fixture in my … Continue reading →

Pissed Off

Meet Mysti. She is a sassy 14-year-old cat that was the first of the fur babies I adopted on my own. I hate to admit this in writing, but I doubt she’s going to read this – she wasn’t my first pick of the litter. GASP! I feel awful saying that. It was just after … Continue reading →

Titles of Blog Posts I Intend to Write

Posted on March 12, 2013 by ally • 5 Comments

All you bloggers and/or wanna-be bloggers out there can probably relate to this. (Except for the ones who use editorial calendars and are organized, which is exactly what I should be doing and what I advise clients to do.) I often get ideas for blogs at the most inopportune moments, like when I’m trying to … Continue reading →

It Was One of THOSE Days

Posted on March 8, 2013 by ally • 6 Comments

Yesterday was one of THOSE days. Not those days, THOSE days; a great day! The stars seemed to be aligned in my Aquarian favor and the universe was generating ridiculously positive energy. I don’t know what Mercury was doing (I never did understand the whole Mercury in retrograde thing, although I want to) but I’m … Continue reading →

My Idol is a Dashboard Monk

Posted on February 27, 2013 by ally • Leave a comment

That’s right. I said it. My idol is a dashboard monk; MY dashboard monk to be exact! Yes, I realize he is an inanimate object, but nonetheless, I admire him and strive to be like him; not to be inanimate, but well, let me explain … The day I purchased him, he seemed to be … Continue reading →
