Thanks. It was great! The kids hunted eggs in the morning. My wife made Italian food for lunch, and then I went swimming with the kids in the afternoon while my wife did some gardening. I hope your Easter Sunday was great as well.

Ah!

You Italian? I'm not. But . . .

If it's Italian, it must-a be good! From Cleveland home of serious [Big] Little Italy!

I try to cook Italian, I've fooled a few Italians.

Lol! The only Italian in the family is my wife's step grandfather. He was at today's lunch and gave it his seal of approval! All I know is that it tasted fantastic and that I was happy to get a homemade meal! 

Never been to Cleveland but I have had some phenomenal Italian food in Detroit though. If I cooked Italian food I wouldn't fool anyone!
