Their jeans really fit girls with curves because they have ample butt room, There just aren't many jeans that fit when you're 5-foot-2. I still have to have them hemmed, but I love them.
I wanted to come up with a hybrid show of sorts that wasn't your traditional 'dump and stir' type of cooking show.
I've always been a foodie. My grandmother got me hooked on cooking.
I think that my interpretation of Italian was a lot more southern than what my husband cooks. You know, I grew up in Queens and in Brooklyn, and we - really, it's more southern. It's Naples and Sicily. It's heavier. It's over-spiced. And like most Americans, I thought spaghetti and meatballs was genius.
Thanksgiving was always a favorite holiday for me. The preparation was fun! My grandma and I would walk to the butcher on Jamaica Avenue in Queens, order the bird, and buy all the fixings at the market.
I'm never sloppy, and I never wear jeans. I don't work one look in particular, but it's usually retro - I'm a flea-market freak. And detailed - I'm always very done, even at the gym.
My mother was really young when she had me, so she was a horrible cook, but we lived with my grandmother, who was fantastic. We eventually got our own place, and my mother started learning to cook. But it was also the '70s, so she was very experimental, and, well - thank God we had a dog.
My husband is from Florence. And he has a 15th-century barn that is completely rustic and very 'Green Acres'-like.
For holidays, I like doing special cheery touches around the table, like color-coordinating the plates and napkins to fit the theme.
My wrists, which are tattooed with my daughters' names, are always occupied by a watch.
My husband, Gabriele, is a musician, and I love music, so you can bet it's a really important part of our home entertaining repertoire, even if it means Gabriele making a really good playlist for a dinner party.
Life is just too short to count calories forever!
We go to Italy every winter, and my husband's mother has a bingo party on Christmas. Every woman brings a dish: lentils, cavolo nero, tons of beans, polenta, every type of cheese, bruschetta, fresh vegetables, and local olive oil and wine.
I have a full Tuscan lunch and dinner every day in my home; my husband's a fantastic chef.
