Aunt Mia passed away a few years back. Mia was know for several things, her bold personality, her assaults with wooden spoons, and her Ricotta Cheese cake!!!
What makes this cheese cake so special is the fact that it was carried over from Italy by my grandparents. My brothers (mostly Dan) take great pride in this cake. It represents where we came from, the passage our grandparents made into this great new world. Its not like an old watch or some cryptic note passed down. Its something more, some thing alive. I may not be able to see Mia or my grandparents but i can invoke their presents at any time. The cheese cake also has about 2 cups of sambuca so that also helps invoke !!!!! lol
Well now that i'm filled with nostalgia and love.... i'm going to work to make Mia's cheese cake!!!! heres to you Mia!!!! xoxoxoxoxo ohhhh
