It’s written as if Artie is writing his own cookbook, and asking all his Italian friends for their own recipes. Whoever oversaw the writing did a great job, because the interviews and asides are a very creditable impression of the show’s characters.

I was looking it up on Amazon and found that the cookbook got a sequel of sorts in Carmella's guide to being a good hostess. Speaking of weird tangential Sopranos material, who's going to play the "Road to Respect" PS2 game and give us the synopsis?

It can’t be a real sopranos cookbook without Lincoln Log Sandwiches  I heard the video game sucks on account of it’s completely on rails with a pre defined narrative- you’re essentially playing a story with predetermined beats which doesn’t really work for a video game. Compared to open world game offerings coming out around the same time there’s no way it could stack up against them.

I bought some marron glace (candied chestnuts) from the Italian store a while ago- they are expensive and loving delicious and whenever they said that, I always thought of those I think it's another Italian-American dropped vowel word, like mozzarell', ricott', etc. Madonn'!

Apparently its because they're all descended from dirty southerners. quote:Dan Nosowitz on Atlas Obscura did a deep dive on the origin of the gabagool phenomenon in his fantastic piece, How Capicola Became Gabagool: The Italian New Jersey Accent, Explained. After researching with some linguistics experts, Nosowitz discovered that, like the botched American estimations of Italian culture such as meatballs, baked ziti, or whatever Olive Garden is pretending to be, the word "gabagool" is about as Italian as apple pie.

I remember Ishamael posted an amazing baked ziti recipe many, many years back. It ended up costing like $40 or more for all the ingredients, but it was the best ziti I've ever had.

I have changed the way I do it since then (a bit) but it still makes a good ziti. http://goonswithspoons.com/Baked_Ziti (Holy crap I posted this in 2010) EDIT: man, I sure was not specific with amounts. The "big cans" of tomatoes are 28 oz., the "small can" of paste is 6 oz. The large ricotta is 15 oz. A "package" of shredded mozzarella is probably 8 oz. but buy extra because you never want to skimp on the cheese. Ishamael fucked around with this message at 19:29 on May 23, 2019 |

Oh maron, my nonna would be spinning in her grave that you're making meatballs with only beef. You need a little ground pork or even veal added in there. Other than that, she might object to Hunt's brand but otherwise its a solid recipe to me.

Just watched the episode where Tony kills Ralphie, gotta be one of my favorites. I forgot how good the earlier seasons are. I think the show starts going downhill (but still good) when Steve Buscemi arrives.

I like the pre-shredded better for this, fresh mozz is amazing but I prefer the low moisture for ziti because the fresh makes everything too wet.

Other than that, she might object to Hunt's brand but otherwise its a solid recipe to me. True, it's hard to beat a mixed meat meatball, but honestly I usually just do beef for ease of shopping. I agree on the Hunt's though, I now use the Cento San Marzano or the Bianco DiNapoli if I can get them.

The beauty of living in an area with a TON of Italian Americans is that there's a little Italian market down the street from me that sells premixed meatball mix, so all I've got to do is form them and cook them. They sell out of their meatball mix nearly every single day, it's that good. My other big suggestion would be to just bake the meatballs on a sheet in the oven, then when they're done, be sure to dump all of the meatballs AND every bit of fat that leaked out of them AND all of the crusty bits that stick to the cooking sheet into the sauce and let that simmer for a good while.

I also count myself fortunate that even down here in Elvis Country some Italian-Americans opened up a pizzeria not two blocks from my house. It's not the best pizza in town, but it's close and everything they make is amazing. Especially their garlic knots and calzone. Oh, Paulie was right. We did eat putsi before they gave us the gift of their cuisine.

I love the weird vibe when the cleanup is happening, and how it turns into this terrible bonding experience between Chris and Tony. Just these two guys alone together performing this methodical dismemberment in a quiet suburban house. It's just like when Chris starts falling off the wagon after they steal the wine from the Wipers. He reminisces about how he ratted out Adriana and sees it as a positive thing, because Tony sent Sil to kill her instead of making him do it. The psychology in this show is loving terrific.

I love the weird vibe when the cleanup is happening, and how it turns into this terrible bonding experience between Chris and Tony. Just these two guys alone together performing this methodical dismemberment in a quiet suburban house. And Chris shows up half high for that job and even cops to it. Tony is totally oblivious to his role in aiding and openly encouraging Chris to fall off the wagon - aggressively so really - and then later kills him as a "mercy killing" or "murder of convenience", however one reads that. It's shown that Tony is "oh so concerned" about the absent baby in the car seat but, to me, we know by then he was mainly and always concerned about himself, even if he fails to realize it. Throughout the show were shown him arguing that he's providing for his family and how much everyone else is loving his poo poo up and pushing his buttons but he's ultimately selfish and totally doing it all for himself. Sociopath. Chris was struggling and slipping anyway but the wine heist and subsequent bonding element with Tony was a textbook example of enabling, manipulation, self centeredness and just one more example of Tony's toxicity bringing nothing but pain and death to everything he interacts with through his insatiable selfishness, which really culminated with AJ's suicide attempt and the penultimate episode.

Tony tried to rationalize it as something other than that to himself like he does with all of his murders but he deep down he killed Chris because he feared his weakness would eventually cause him to flip.

I think it's more crass than that. He killed Chris because he was mad at him and he just didn't like him anymore. Tony's so far gone at that point.

It solved a ton of problems all at once though. Chris had more dirt on Tony then everyone else combined and was one bad arrest away from being able to not only tie up Tony with the Feds but then implicate Tony in killing Ralphie and Ritchie, which would've caused major inter-family problems beyond worrying about a "rat".

That last panel is loving incredible. Second episode is taking some time to write up because there is so much going on with Tony's feelings regarding Livia's death to write about, in addition to all the stuff Janice brings to the party. In the meantime, any excuse to post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrQcAzMb8E
