re: Rant Ahead... People who don't share their recipes.

I agree. I readily share any recipe anyone asks me for. I don’t see any sense in keeping something that people like a secret. One of my oldest friends, his grandmother made the best meatballs I’ve ever eaten. She was the first generation of their family to be born in America, and came from Italy. I lived next door to her growing up and you could smell them through the walls with the doors closed. 15-20 years after asking him the first time, I think I’m pretty close to him letting me have his grandmother’s recipe.
