Italian Thanksgiving? According to the fine pilgrim tradition, our Italian ancestors went over to the New World, America, celebrated and gave thanks for their new found fortune, freedom and prosperity. However, they were very reluctant to give up the traditions of their own, that is why they still serve manicotti, lasagna or stuffed shells prior to the turkey. Afterwards, you top off the feast with fine Italian pastries and cookies with espresso, Why not order a scrumptious batch of Italian cookies for your Thanksgiving feast? They're perfect to adorn any Thanksgiving table and delicious to enjoy. If you would like to order in time for the Holiday, please keep in mind the following deadline: All Thanksgiving orders must be placed by Saturday morning, November 15, at noon EST.

Gamberi Aragonati
Ingredients: Directions: Preheat the oven to 450° F. Lightly oil a large baking pan. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, or enough to moisten the crumbs. Arrange the shrimp in the pan in a single layer, curling each one into a circle. Spoon a little of the crumb mixture onto each shrimp. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp, or until the shrimp turn pink and the crumbs are lightly browned. Serve with lemon wedges. Makes 6 servings. That's it!
Scallopini di Tacchino con Insalata
Ingredients: For the Scallopini:
Directions: For dressing, whisk olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a bowl. Cross a serving fork and spoon in bowl and place greens on top (so they don't touch the dressing). Cover and refrigerate; toss before serving. In a casserole, combine breadcrumbs, Parmigiano cheese, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. In a bowl, beat egg and 1 tbs water. Dip cutlets in egg wash, then dredge through breadcrumb mixture. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add cutlets. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Arrange cutlets on 2 dinner plates with dressed greens next to each. Garnish with lemon wedges. Makes 2 servings. That's it!
Lenticchie Brasate
Ingredients: Directions: Pour enough cold water over the lentils, onions, carrots, celery, and bay leaves in a 3-quart saucepan to cover by three fingers. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust the heat so the water is at a gentle boil and cook until the lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the lentils, discard the bay leaves, and transfer to a large skillet. Pour in the chicken stock and olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced enough to coat the lentils, about 3 minutes. Scatter the spinach over the lentils and toss just until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings. That's it! Printer Friendly Version :: Submit Your Thoughts
"Only In Italy" is a daily news column that translates and reports on funny but true news items from legitimate Italian news resources in Italy. Each story is slapped with our wild, often ironic, and sometimes rather opinionated comments. And now, for your reading pleasure: Sneaky Sex Headaches Can Kill Milan - September 30, 2008 - Illicit love affairs can lead to crippling migraines in headache sufferers and may even kill, Italian researchers warned Tuesday. A specific type of headache can turn nasty during sneaky sex, according to Lorenzo Pinessi of the Italian Migraine Society. He said it affects about 15% of the Italian population, mostly men. "This type of headache can be exacerbated by a series of factors like aphrodisiac food, performance-enhancing drugs, physical strain and psychological stress caused by the need to keep the relationship secret," Pinessi said. "It can trigger extremely strong migraine attacks lasting up to three hours". Pinessi said headache sufferers who have such experiences should talk "openly" to their doctors about them. "In 3-4% of cases they may cause a cerebral aneurysm," he said. The neurologist said he advised such patients to "try and cool it, take a time-out from the affair and have a brain scan". Hey bagascia! You're giving me a headache...
Here's some news for Dottore Lorenzo. Many working Italians are more interested in cheating on their partner at lunchtime than grabbing something to eat.
It appears that lunch (between 12:30 and 2:00) accounted for one in three acts of adultery. Regardless of the location, whether in the car, office, restaurant restroom, or mule shed, it has to be over and done with quickly while everyone else is out to lunch.
Dottore, if we're constantly skipping lunch and being blackmailed into adultery, we're going to have migraine attacks.
Other possible causes of these sex headaches are:
- a bashing over the head with a dull object after being caught in an affair,
The neurologist said he advised such patients to "try and cool it, take a time-out from the affair and have a brain scan". This dottore deserves to be in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for creating the most inconceivable and head splitting excuse ever to end an affair.
