Oh yea, eating AND eating a lot, in an Italian family is in the DNA. Not to mention every holiday at my grandma's. She'd get up mid dinner, grab the platter of pasta or steak or whatever the meal was, and plop down more food in everyone's dish whether they were half done, full or whatever. LOL On occasions when I had a friend with me, they were absolutely amazed at the amount of food. LOL Yea, those were the days!!
