I Love that Mario Cuomo was so hospitable and chivalrous!! Two hankerchiefs, one for him and one for an unexpecting lady! Italians are so loving and considerate!!❣
Oh my goodness!! This second hour had me in stitches. So many of the remedies talked about in both episodes I remember my grandmother talking about and using . Thank you so much. Please bring Zia Rosa back again.
The flower with the Camille for my family is Laurel leaf flower or bay leaf flower Laurel is bay leaf. Also use saffron flowers. I use saffron threads to make tea and to inhale for decongestion. Herb in alcohol for my family is eucalyptus
When I was little, I suffered on my hands and feet with eczema severely as well. Moreso on my feet. Not the dry patchy kind, but the blister kind that would itch so bad that you scratch and it bleeds. I suffered badly with it. My doctor put me under a blue light to help dry it out.
The Giardiello side of my family are from Benevento too!!! The Ferraro side of my family are from Cleto in Calabria. I Love hearing about all the the cures and old ways of doing things!!! Keep up the Great Work!!! - Nick Giardiello
I don't know why Pat and everyone acted so shocked and weirded out at the idea of a colonic as IF all of our mothers didn't believe that an enema was the cure to virtually everything from a headache to a bad attitude?! Lol I am NOT saying colonics work to cure anything, but the basic idea was ubiquitous among our mothers and grandmothers especially when it came to childrens health!
She mentioned what she calls "scafatun" when you are talking about the talks of handmade pasta. The only other time that I have heard this word was my grandmother said it, but that's what she called rigatoni. She said when she was growing up, they called them scafatun, not rigatoni. I've never been able to find much information on this. Does anyone have more information on this? If it makes a difference, my family is Barese, but my grandmother grew up in Jersey City.
Malvasia is mallow. Its called malva in Italian, malvasia must be a regional name. I am also from Basilicata but we call it mëllagë instead of malvasia.
This was a fun, beloved, historic, a generational family-dense episode! This was great! I felt I was right there!! Thank you all!!

Love this …so relatable. Btw, just flew ITA airways and we clapped when we landed in Rome and when we landed in JFK. Lol😊

WoW, being adults being embarrassed of buying underwear!! That's incredible!!
I think the herb you couldn't think of the English name for is Rue.
Last year, Summer 2023, flight from Lisbon, Portugal to Naples, Italy all clapped as plane landed
