What does an Italian Father do to Make a Meal?
My Father is a successful person as well. While he never cooked, his skill in engineering/construction was amazing.
He is a self-taught musician who played in Marching bands, Jazz groups and local big bands when I was growing up.
He worked for his dad who came from Italy and created a construction company that in it's hey day, poured over half the foundations for the homes in West Hartford, CT.
After Grandfather passed, my dad and his brother continued with the construction business until the early seventies when they decided it was time to put away their work boots. But that didn't happen for years when as a child my sisters and brother would have to be at our best behavior because mom said he worked hard to put food on the table and give us all that we had.
My dad loves golf and has a passion for music. When he was a young married man, weekends he spent on the golf course with his friends. He played music in the evenings with his musician buddies and felt renewed after a long day working construction.
He continued with music by becoming an excellent piano tuner and rebuilder, developing the skill only to be sought after by local piano owners who thought highly of him and thoroughly enjoyed the tunes he played on their piano when the work he did for them was finished.
Due to age related illness he does not get to the golf course but makes it a point to swing a club.
Today dad arranges and records his favorite tunes in his make-shift recording studio in the basement of our home.
So What does an Italian Father do to Make a Meal? He has his Italian wife and daughter cook! The first paragraph really answered that question and today I do all the cooking.
