As you said they make us who we are! Glad I was able to bring you back to your mom's rice stuffing. <br />Thank you for the help on the nomination for the sunshine award. I had no idea. The two awards I got on my blog are from 2 friends that I had gotten to know a while ago, and at that time, they just sent the award to me, no questions were involved. I like this better as you can get to know the person that you are friends with. Lots of fun....<br />Blessings for a wonderful week...Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-39129983269897933872013-12-02T10:13:16.245-05:002013-12-02T10:13:16.245-05:00Dear Dottie, Wonderful memories...they make us who...Dear Dottie, Wonderful memories...they make us who we are. My mom used to make rice stuffing for Thanksgiving. Sounds delicious! To accept the sunshine award, include it in your next post with a link back to me and an image of the award. You can answer the same questions too. Blessings dear.

Your trip to Argentina must have been a wonderful experience for you. It is so amazing to see family members in a different country and learn their ways. When I was a young girl, I couldn't even have thought how important where you came from meant anything. As I got older, the more I thought about where and who my family originated from was fascinating, it is in our blood. Yes, my mom has been my biggest influence in my life. She has taught me everything that is good and is still teaching me everyday. I learn something new all the time. But, I have to also give credit to my grandmother's and my great-grandmother Sofia. Their recipes and the things that they showed my mom has passed down to me. So I am very fortunate to have had that experience. Blessings on a terrific weekend! <br />Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-52312034595022620722013-11-29T23:31:01.055-05:002013-11-29T23:31:01.055-05:00Dear Nee,

As I was saying to Louise, I think most Italians have the same routine, we all grew up with the same views. Now you were the baby of 9, wow! The Rice stuffing was a hit at my brother's, and we had a lovely day with the family. Hope you do try it for Christmas. Blessings for a fabulous weekend!

I do hope that your Thanksgiving was a success, and you had a fun day! I also enjoyed the day at my brother's with the family, and my dad pulled out the can of pennies at my brother's and guess what we played, "Pokeno"! We haven't played that game in years. But we had fun, and it is easy, just like Bingo.<br />As usual too much food, but leftovers are a wonderful thing for a quick meal. <br />Looking forward to your post on Sunday! Thanks for stopping by, Blessings for a great weekend!

They loved anything Italian (they were second generation) and their enthusiasm and warmth really moved me to tears.<br />I can see how you love your Italian heritage Dottie!And your mum has certainly given you a big Italian imprint with lots of wonderful recipes. She must have been the true Italian loving mamma.<br />Have a fab day!<br />Alida XXAlidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852806349180621183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-4249106158584712252013-11-27T22:37:35.980-05:002013-11-27T22:37:35.980-05:00Hi Dottie ,
