I'm making an Italian themed meal [View all]

[BlueKota]

for the 4th of July, in honor of my ancestors on my Mom's side, and one of my great grandfather's on my Dad's side.They were all hardworking farmers. It's a tribute to them, and all the immigrants who were there for this nation, even though not everyone was grateful for that, or even treated them with basic human kindness.

I celebrate my Irish heritage on Saint Patrick's Day, so I thought it only fair to give tribute to the Italian side. I chose the 4th because there is no way I am celebrating tsfs desecration of everything the founders tried to achieve, and because a number of my late uncles served their country in WWII.
