No Mas Amor Que el Tuyo


Part of the Parma Family tradition (the descendants of Jeremias and Felisa, that is) is to have a Sacred Heart image enthroned in every family's home. Every year, each family commemorates the enthronement by inviting extended family members to pray with them and partake in a small feast afterward.

Then again, that may be just another reason for the whole family to get together and spend an afternoon of good food, good wine and good conversation.

As I mentioned in my other post (I think :-D) these small get togethers are like dry runs for the granddaddy of all feasts...the Holy Week Celebration. Nonetheless, no matter the number of attendees or reason, every Parma Family get-together is always satisfying. Not just gastronomically but emotionally and spiritually as well. :-)

The way spaghetti is meant to be eaten. ;-)
