Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

THAT WAS MY UNCLE ALAN PHILY WAS NOT AN UNCLE I DONT TYPE TO GOOD RUN ON SENTENCES THE NUNS DID NOT GET IT THROUGH TO ME LOL

BIG NICK BONAVITA - What a nice man, I remember him like I remember Bob Horan. I was very little, they were very very tall LOL

I used to save my money, sometimes I would take some of my church offering (God understood I had a sweet tooth) and I would buy the VERY DARK JELLY DONUTS from Nick. He had them in the front counter. To this day I can never find those and once when I thought I did the jelly inside was not dark like his. Thats called a Yummmmmmmmy memory.

Hola: Good morning all. i am up cooking i am making some brown rice and some red beans, i make a bunch and then i freeze in portions. Yesterday i made sauce, from plum tomatoes.

Terry Bones: I received an email from Ralphie Surato and i noticed that he used lower case, i emailed him back using lower case and it has not been returned. So maybe the problem is that his email is case sensitive. ???????.

Christine O: did u get the recipe for the Salad?

Umbria: your name is familiar to my ears, i am still in the hood too. i live on 17 street bet. 3 ad 4th ave. I remember your fathers store.

Bonavitas: I also remember Big Nick, as big as he was that is how gentle he was. Your parents made a good looking couple, they always appeared happy. Debbie, i remember your grandmother; she always looked good, she took great pride in her appearance, she too was a good-looking woman, she was friendly and she always had a kind word. She came into Ludons almost every week, as did your aunts, you Bonavitas come from good stock.

Well that's all folks
A blessed day to all

That was from me, Janet

Anthony Umbria....I remember being very little and my dad taking us down to the piers to see the nativity scene. It was great.

Janet, enjoy the pizza and the company today.
Also, Janet I am gonna make granmas recipe tonight. Do you think onions would work also on the franks? I hate to change the recipe.

Mildred Romano

Dear Millie,

If you want to get all gourmet and all, I guess you could put onions on the hot dogs. That would count as the vegetable serving for the day. Add ketchup and you have TWO vegetables in one meal.

Grandma's recipe for Blackened Bacon:

1. Heat up frying pan and put in bacon--no need to separate the strips--they will eventually do that themselves.
2. Fry bacon until the smoke alarm goes off and/or FDNY rings your bell.
3. Check for doneness--bacon should be the color and texture of charcoal.
4. Serve and enjoy.

janet, granny sounds like she loved to cook.
