A disgustingly huge plate of spaghetti, usually made by me. I either do it with sausage, onions and peppers or ground beef and mushrooms or the way my mama does it, with bacon, onions, peppers and tomato paste.

i love french dip sandwiches. my momma used to make it with leftover meat, add aujus and good crusty bread. i just love the dipping of the sandwich. i finally found (after 7 years of searching) my momma's stroganoff recipe. i wish i had my nonna's recipe for hamburger gravy. it had the hamburger all crumbled up, and i would eat it over bread. haven't had it in 25 years, but i can still taste it!

I like anything I do not have to cook myself. Nothing is a real "favorite". I am not a picky eater!

Before she passed away, I loved my great-grandmother's typical Ukrainian meal: perogies (real, handmade), and holubtsi (real, hand made). I think I would KILL to eat my mother's stuffing, with her style of pork chops, or fried chicken. And her mashed potatoes. But now that I am on my own, and those meals are inaccessible, I guess my favourite would be anything involving potatoes and sour cream. Frozen store-bought cheddar perogies, and sour cream, with onions fried in pork fat. I eat so horribly now that I don't live with my mom. My only meal all day, til I get home is a venti gingerbread latte from Starbucks. It's my daily vice, like smokers, or other addicts.

Congress Pizza! In the 1950's, my father used to frequent a bar in my hometown called the Congress. It opened right after prohibition was repealed and the owners, two Italian brothers gave a tip of the hat to the government. One day, while my father and his friends were enjoying a "cold one", the owners told them that they were going to start making pizzas. There was an Italian restaurant going out of business up the street and they had purchased their ovens, but they needed someone to go and get them. So my father and his friends offered to do it for them. The first pizzas out of those ovens were made for my father and his friends. They were out of this world. They used a sauce that was from a home recipe. The meat was a cudighi sausage and they put the cheese UNDER the sauce when they baked it. Growing up this was the ONLY pizza I had ever tasted...so when someone said pizza or I read the word "pizza" what came to mind was a Congress pizza. We didn't ever go out to eat...but sometimes for a treat, my Dad would bring home a Congress pizza. It was for us a special deal. When I got older, and went out to teen dances with my friends, we would go to the Congress for pizza afterwards. The place became so popular with teens that no drinking man could get into the place on Friday and Saturday nights. There were so many teens, that you had wait your turn to get a booth so while you were waiting you would socialize. We would go into the front door...work our way along the crowd to the back and then out the back door, go down the alley and around the corner to the front door and repeat the process until a you found an open booth. There was a second wave of teens coming in the back door, working their way to the front door and doing the opposite. Crazy huh? But this place was THE place to be on a Friday or Saturday night and that pizza was like our mother's milk. We grew up while eating it. The place now belongs to the grandsons of the original owners. My Dad still orders his pizzas from them...and when I go home, I ALWAYS have at least one Congress pizza. There are days I crave it until my mouth waters. It is my favorite food and my mother knows that when I come home, she doesn't have to make anything special for me...she just has to pick up the phone and dial. A couple of summers ago, we arrived right at suppertime and instead of barging on anyone at dinner time, we decided to grab a Congress pizza first. The owners laughed when they found out that they were my first stop, but they said that it happens a lot!

Maybe I can help, Mamie. A holubtsi is a Ukrainian cabbage roll, filled mainly with rice and very little meat, whereas cabbage rolls are filled with lots of hamburger.
