My Auntie Anna had so many specialties, but her calamari salad is one of my favorites. She had a heart of gold. She always needed to feed you when you visited...(That's the Italian way!) And you had to eat or she would be insulted!

As you know by now, I'm a Plain-Jane!"
Sorry, Auntie Anna, you were far from plain! I miss you very much!
