Thank You Again

This is just a final thanks to the woman who shared her family's Italian sausage recipe. Her name was Ann Piccolo. She died last week at the age of 97. She grew up in an orphanage here in Omaha, and turned out to be one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. The first time she heard my name, she marched up to me and said, "You Italian"? She may have been 5 foot at one time in her life, but I've only known her for the last six years, and she's always been four foot something, probably 75 lbs. soaking wet. She was so excited when I approached her with the desire to turn out my own sausage, and asked if she had a recipe and some pointers. Her sausage, which is now my sausage, is pretty much verbatim with just two small differences. Thanks again for the sharing the love and the memories:)
