Over the years, I have managed to combine old age, a Dad bod, and Italian American heritage into a walking ad for the before pictures in diet ads. But, I am still alive at 75; so, there's that. I have had a life long love of Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, bred from my Italian American mom's classic recipe; but, the recipe was lost when she died, and I have never been able to duplicate it. So, when, after years of searching, my sister emailed me, saying she had found a typewritten recipe among my mother's papers, I was elated. Diane made some the other night, and I have been in heaven ever since. It will now be impossible to stay on a diet. Oh well. I will leave the earth with the taste of classic Italian meat sauce in my mouth.
