While I was growing up, every Christmas our family would enjoy a large family gathering and an Italian dish called Anolini. When I decided I would make some to quench my 5 year long craving I ran into a few problems. First I couldn’t spell Anolini or Annalini or whatever (…Gah! I’ve made my point!) so trying to locate a recipe online proved to be more difficult than you would first think! And second I couldn’t get the recipe from my Aunt who used to make the dish, because she’s currently in Italy. How ironic. Sorta. I also had a bit of a hunch that maybe the name that has been assigned to it within my family, may not be the official name… which may have also lead to the difficulty in locating anything online to help me out. Rather than be beaten by old memories and lack of contact with those who count, I’ve gone ahead and made a recipe out of a few others with the help of my Father (thanks dad!). My hope is that by now posting it online, other people can locate a good Anolini recipe. After the short break there will be a full recipe with pictures of my progress in trying to make my favourite past-time Italian Christmas dish.

So someone decided to make May 25th the official Nerd Pride Day, so that being said… Happy Geek Day everyone! Show a little nerd in ya, would ya!?

According to the wikipedia entry, i had to check to ensure a co-worker wasn’t completely pulling my leg, its origins are because of the release date for the original star wars movie. Today in 1979 the billion dollar franchise opened in theatres. Meh.
