If you had some in your garden, I’d pick one, sprinkle some salt on it, then eat it whole. They are truly delicious. I love tomatoes so much that I now make and sell a tomato sauce that's available for purchase online and in a number of great stores. Continue reading.

While I've given a brief picture, talking about my family, my education, my teaching, and my time spent in Italy, I haven't given you a picture of who I am exactly. This piece aims to do that. Continue reading.

Pasta is so good life without it might not be worthy of being called "life." But before I go any further, I'd like to lay to rest the myth that Marco Polo trekked back from China carrying a box of pasta.
