Silly me. I enjoyed reading of this family and was reminded of how Christmas and Eastertide are so significant in keeping traditions alive for believers and non-believers alike, bringing significant ritual and meaning to family life. Perhaps this is why Christmas is such a difficult time for those without families.

I dare not ask a lady’s age but if she took over the business in the 1930’s, she is looking good!

Thank you for sharing.

Question: how do they keep the ravioli until Christmas? Freezer?
(I’m inspired to make some–not 300+ but some.)

Buon Natale to the Pellicci Family from Canada!

The Tuscan sunshine glows from a kitchen on the Bethnal Green Road. Many thanks, you have again warmed up my day. Great photos, simply executed, all that is vital is captured. Especially the one with both sets of hands filling the cases. It gently prompts me to spend time with my loved ones.

Just one thing, if they made 360 ravioli they made nine batches.
