"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Ken was a varsity wrestler at Mahwah High School for four years, and before each match he would have me make him rice pudding, he loved his moms Rice Pudding.
But after he took a part-time job at Bamberger's at the Garden State Mall in his senior year, where he met his now wife Theresa, and after they started dating, Theresa found out that Ken loved rice pudding and started making him her Cuban Rice pudding. Suddenly moms was second best. This Cuban Rice Pudding recipe is the reason I have a "Bonus Daughter" and three amazing grandchildren, Cristofer, Marisol and Julian.
