Over the past two days I have been making pasta e fagiole (pasta fazool) the old fashioned way, from an old family recipe (OK, I downloaded it from the internet, but I?m sure it?s somebody?s old family recipe). Anyway, as I was picking through the dried beans and soaking them overnight it struck me that this was all something that my great grandmother would recognize. OK, so she?d have a problem that her great grandSON was doing it in a house dress and an apron, but still. Anyone else ever feel a connection to the women who came before us?
Genealogy is a hobby of mine so I know her name and some of the circumstances of her life
