    Everything I make starts with my Mother, Judy's kitchen sense, the roots from when I could barely walk. She inspired me in a way like no other, that I was always welcome to smell, chop, pick ingredients, to treat things at the highest level as a sanctuary from my Irish father's nightly beatings. I started working with her when I was 7 or 8. I'm not joking. She gave me my one and only Christmas present, and imersion blender when I was 10, I still use it. My own chef knife when I was 11, still my go to. The New Professional Chef, the CIA cookbook the next year. I would pass out on a booth in the restaurant. I graduated to broader levels of cuisine, even at one time opening up a restaurant and she was the head waitress. I spent 7 years driving her home at 2:30 am and cooking for her with us both exhausted every night, watching Law and Order on a 12" B&W TV while I cooked her dinner and paid back my dues to her, then getting a few hours sleep and going to school.

    I took care of her while she was dying, gave her her last real meal besides morphine, clams casino which she slurped so vigorously then puked out, spent 2 weeks cleaning out her hording house and visiting her 2x per day until the day she died in my hands alone, with me. Came home to getting fired from my job. And I would do it again in a heartbeat, just like I did for my Dad 6 years before her, and also alone, and fired from my job.

    I invited my first real girlfriend home (18-25 of my life) in college and afterwards, she was a jew. I invited her home from college for our first Christmas . What a trip. My Italian Mother, drunk after midnight mass, whole spread of amazing Christmas eve seafood on the table and Judy kept screaming with her wine glass to Sarah, "See, I ain't gonna jew you on Christmas!". She thought it was a compliment that she was pulling out all the stops.

    She said it so many times under my protestation that I took the entire dining room table and flipped it over, grabbed Sarah, and said fuck it, I'm not putting up with this anymore and we left right there.

    So, yes. She probably would have cooked the same thing for Danno, because we went to high school together just a couple miles away, if that, in the Bronx in the late 80's, and we both randomly entered CU Law the same year which graduated 144 people. We share a very similar background and continued values. I've met his parents, long time ago, been on many adventures in life together, and I saw the kind smile that he was born into.

    You got a problem with that? Call me and tell it to my face or shut the fuck up and find another dead person to beat, Mike.

    You have my number and seem to call me whenever you need free help. I'm glad I was able to be there for you when I met you, all the way through your fucked up divorce. And don't worry about Danno, he's got his own shit to deal with, and you have been on ignore for him for a very long time for good reason.

    I'm sick of your fucking hate, Mike. Stop. It's not a joke. What would Owen do if he read this shit? He would be so disappointed in the father and man that you portray on the internet.

    FYI, the only single thing I have from my Mother is her cookbook, fat as the largest Italian in the world, which I wrapped up in cellophane, took on the plane, and haven't dared to open, because I don't need to. It's all in my head.

    And she would have cooked for you too, if I vouched for you. So please be so kind to allow me.

    Well, cook her favorite meal as penance. And I know the feeling brother, obviously.

    I miss you.

    That actually happened to thing #3 at a friend's house. 17 yo's got out the bag of Costco breaded chicken and missed the part where it said they weren't cooked. Hot on the outside in the microwave does not equate to cooked in the middle.

    My dad occasionally made veal saltimbocca. It never occurred to me that I could use chicken.

    Had some potatoes from the garden I needed to use. Mandolin’ed them up without losing a fingertip this time.

    Potatoes, canola oil and sea salt, basic and cheap.


    They were eaten as fast as I could make them so no after pics. Made a mess on the stove, spent a half hour with a scrub pad and glass cooktop cleaner today.

    I'm going to give it a shot this week. Do you use stock in your polenta or just water?

    It's actually kinda funny - while dining on this I explained to the lady about the roots of the dish, how the workers crafting the terra cotta tiles for the cathedral used a kiln, and cooked this dish in the same kiln in terra cotta pots during their final firing stages to have as a hearty lunch during long grueling days.

    She looked completely impressed, like I had this wealth of historical and relevant food knowledge. I did not mention I just learned it from quickly skimming the article on the page from your recipe. LOL

    Use a wok. It's deeper, and the sides slope upward creating more volume as things bubble.
