Unless something has changed, you can. Someone did it in Marin County about ten years ago. I forget the story, but they raffled a 2 million dollar home in, I think, 2009 or 2010.

They’re super tender. I use beef, pork, breadcrumbs, parmigiano, herbs & seasoning, egg and a little water (my Nonna said the water was the secret. No idea why but one doesn’t question Sicilian Nonnas). The mix should be a little ‘sticky’ for lack of a better word. As I said, you may lose one or two to the sauce…

any size - just simmer a little longer if they’re bigger. Mine are usually a little larger than golf balls.

Italian American living in Italy here. I’m half Sicilian and half Toscana and my grandmothers would almost come to blows when discussing how to prepare certain dishes. I have, unfortunately, inherited that particular trait, so I am not here to comment on the recipe but to give you one little option that most people…

I knew trichinosis was an issue when I was a kid in the 60s but thought that wasn’t a problem anymore - which is why I figured it was something else. Your explanation makes perfect sense.

I’m really not sure what the difference between the US and here is, but I was taught to completely cook pork too. Here, that is considered over cooked - pork roasts here are almost always very pale pink inside. VERY pale pink, but pink nonetheless - something I would never do in the States.

On the topic of raw pork fat on cooked meat: My first week living in Italy I was invited to a little shindig to meet the neighbors. One of the old farmers came in swinging a rope of sausage which were immediately cut open and spread on toasted bread rounds RAW. I’m sure the look of disgust/surprise/alarm did not elude…

I have, I do and I don’t care. Totally worth the space.

My thoughts exactly. He made me wish I believed in Hell.

Stupid and pilled up. 

I’m glad it isn’t just me - I can’t stand Jameson.

I call bullshit that he wrote that himself. There aren’t enough misspellings and grammatical errors.

Eggboy is the hero we need right now.

I had no idea he was even still a thing.

My ex father-in-law went to Penn State and we used to tease him about his years in the State pen.

yeah, they pay people to write papers for them too. 

Uhhh...eat the rich?

AD is one of my all-time favorite shows and was super bummed when it was cancelled from Fox originally (holy shit was that in 2006???). Never realized my brother - who has the exact same twisted sense of humor as mine - had never seen it. Just rewatched the first 3 seasons with him and enjoyed them EVEN MORE the…

I’ve been an organ donor for as long as I’ve been able and I’m an old. The MINUTE he jumped line on that I pulled my donor status. Until there is some kind of caveat that my organs don’t go to fucking Republicans they ain’t getting shit from me. Because of them I’m RUINING my fucking liver so...
