Ciao,

Don’t feel shy about asking Anna for advice. She’s a generous gal and never lets me down.

Love,

E

I have seen that movie. I rented it not too long ago, trying to fill in the gaps in my Magnani repertoire. And I love Ben Gazzara so much. He, like Anthony Perkins, turned up in Italy making strange, creepiness that sometimes turns out elegant.

Hope your oxtails came out nice. I’ve found the thing is to just hammer the hell out of them, then they’re always good.

She is my all-time favorite ranking 1 on my best actress list. But I will have to ask your indulgence as I am going to call her in for some advice, if you don’t mind. What a romantic dish. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Not that the flavor needs any help.
I’m a big Roman cooking fan. I particularly like wandering into Testaccio or Trastevere and ordering the strangest thing I can find, especially something that I can’t figure out the English translation of. My introduction to spinal cord…
Saw a really good Magnani movie on an Alitalia flight a few years back starring Magnani, Toto and Ben Gazzara. Looked it up on Imdb and found the title was “Risate di Gioia.” The best line was when Gazzara stole some jewel or other from a statue in church and dropped it in her bag. WHen the cops found it her explanation for how it got there was “miracolo!”
Guess you had to be there……
