I recently saw this made on a cooking show. Holy crap!!! I want to eat that everyday of my life!!

The Mexican place down the street makes something called 7 mares. I think it’s something similar.

Wow this is fricking amazing! They’re also all MAGA AF
So I did.
And then they just kept laughing.
Kept calling each other WOP and Guinea. Even let me call them that.

Right now my favorite is the sea food fra diavlo
The cold sea food salad with pieces of octopus is amazing too

I am hammered

Glad you enjoyed yourself…that’s what happens when you put yourself out there and expose yourself to the cultures and traditions of others.

Fwiw, Mary (the mother of Christ) is particularly revered in Italian households, so if you want to write them a little thank you note or text them a little gift, try to work Mary into it…they call her ‘The blessed mother”.

You may have guessed, but I am of Italian (Sicilian)ancestry and my family follows many of the same traditions.
