Dear Di-ary….

Question from Denise, NJ… “What is your favorite dish to eat?” (A dish you love to cook and a dish you love to eat)

My favorite dish to cook at home is my Italian Marinara Gravy!

When I was young I remember my Mom making the “gravy” every Sunday morning.   She would brown the meatballs and sausage and then cook them in the gravy for hours!!!   The house smelled soooo good.  I would go in the kitchen and she’d slice me a piece of fresh Italian bread put some of the gravy on top and sprinkle it with a little Locatelli Percorino Romano cheese on top….and call it homemade pizza!  Boy was that good!!!  (And that cheese was freshly grated by me or my brother.)  She always bought the piece of cheese and we grated it at home…it sure does make a difference!  I loved that homemade pizza!  Now when I make my Marinara Gravy and put it on bread I think of those wonderful days!! 

I prefer the Marinara Gravy now as I don’t eat a lot of meat.  It is quick, easy and oh so good! (Unlike sex which should be slow, passionate and AMAZING!)  I serve it with pasta, ravioli or home made manicotti! The gravy people….the gravy!  (Although you could serve this before or after sex!!!!)  Or just put it on good Italian bread with a little grated Locatelli Percorino Romano cheese on top!  Soo good….you can eat it with a spoon! 

My favorite dish to eat out would be seafood because I don’t cook it at home.  I am really spoiled because all the fish I ever ate was caught fresh by us!   My Dad loved to go fishing and crabbing….we would go as a family.  So the only fish I ever ate was what we caught…flounder, blow fish, trout, etc. and blue claw crabs. I love seafood but only order it in places that I know it moves quickly or it is fresh caught.  Fresh fish does not smell and if they bring me a fish dish that smells “fishy” I can’t eat it!  I do like salmon and of course my very favorite is lobster tail!  Yummy!!!! 🍴😋🍴

Editors Note: OFM does not condone any of the sex parts of the blog. Diana has gone rogue and I’m sure Dena is the blame for it.
