Easter pies have begun!

[Julie Bove]

Although there is an old Bove family recipe, I gather that they do not
follow it closely. Tuma is listed but they do not use it. They do use
white pepper. Otherwise I think it is just an assortment of meats, cheeses
and eggs. They also do not use a crust and put in acini de pepe instead. I
screwed up last year and used ditalini. It came out okay, but I think the
smaller pasta is better.

This year instead of chasing all over looking for Italian meats that aren't
necessarily easy to find here, I started with an assortment from Costco. I
also didn't buy as much ham as called for but I'm sure it will be fine. I
am just hoping not to have far too many. I may be able to give away one or
two but most people I know don't eat this sort of thing as it is very rich
and fatty.

Husband's cousin just made his. I saw a pic. He has enough to cover the
top of a huge dining table. I won't need that many.

Do you make them at your house?

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil bastard!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin
favorite, right off the Usenet!

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:

Then after having your nose rubbed in your filthy criminal stalking you

"The facebook group is much more pleasant."


But we all know that's only because you cower over there in mortal fear
of being booted by the FB admins.

You're _so done_ here virus, I mean really fucking done.

I'm making you a project like no other, expect a lot more of your evil
abuse and hatred to be aired for all to see here.

And we both know there's a google archive full of your hatred of women
just waiting to be hung out on the virtual clothesline to dry.

Enjoy then, you rotten, worthless misogynistic bastard!

No, I come from white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant (and somewhat Southern)
stock. We made ham for Easter dinner. Studded with cloves and
pineapple rings, glazed with a mixture of yellow mustard and brown
sugar. It's been so long, I can't remember the side dishes that
were served with it. Perhaps scalloped potatoes, although I guess
that might have been made the next day to accompany the leftovers.

For a while, my husband and I observed Easter with unagi sushi,
but that has fallen by the wayside. Now it's just another Sunday,
filled with projects around the house and wishing that Home Depot
were open.

Never heard of them until you brought it up.

Neither of those recipes appeals to me at all, but then I don't care
for Italian-style cold meats.

I have told this story many times before. Each family has their own recipe.
These are used to break the fast after they get home from church. Small
pieces are eaten cold. The thing is to go visiting friends and family after
church. At each house, you will be given a sliver of this pie to try plus
whatever other foods they have out. And also a pie to take home. This is
why the recipe makes a lot. That's the symbolic part. After that, the pie
is eaten whenever you want to. You will likely have several to tuck away in
your freezer.

I know many Italians. I was even in Italy the week before Easter a
couple of years ago. Never heard of them.

Asked my wife. Her father and grandparentd are from Italy. She never
heard of them either.

Dunno... meat pies that are cold? Why not just serve meat & cheese?

Must be one of those Bove Italian Easter Traditions. Go figure.

It's probably a regional thing. In Italy, "region" can boil down to a

Maybe it's regional. I find it's also called pizza giana, pizza
rustica, or Torte Pasqualina. Its association with Easter is a
little murky (except for that "pasqualina", of course).

Were your wife's people from the north of Italy? So often when we
look at Italian-American food, we find that it's Neapolitan or
Sicilian in origin.

This week I have cooked two pizzas, a big pot of potato leek carrot soup,
meatballs with red sauce and spaghetti (half italian sausage and half
ground beef from chuck), glazed cauliflower with ginger (an Indian recipe),
steamed asparagus, a bunch of hamburgers, eggs & bacon for breakfasts as
well as a couple of breakfast sandwiches. And I made some toast. I think
I'll eat out tonight.

It's pretty simple, aka Gobhi Sabzi. Here's my lazy version adapted
from Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Cooking.

Heat a good amount of oil in a large skillet, and when hot add 1-2 T
of shredded or finely chopped ginger. Let that fry a bit , then add
1 t cumin and stir together. Add 1 t tumeric and 1 t salt, stir
in, then add your bite-sized cauliflower pieces (2 heads). Quickly mix
everything together and watch the cauliflower turn a nice bright yellow
color. :-) Add about 1/4 c hot water, turn down the heat and cook
covered for about 20 min or to desired doneness. Let any excess water
cook off. Squirt with lemon and garnish with cilantro.
