    Why do Americans not pronounce the 'a' in Mozzarella and Ricotta?
    Or is it just a Sopranos thing?
    Because most Italian Americans are descendants of Southern Italians- mainly Napoli and Sicily- where the ends of words get cut off.
    That's interesting because many Italian Australians are Calabrese or Sicilian but still pronounce the 'a'.
    After marrying into an Italian family  my biggest struggle was pronouncing  capicolla the “correct” way.  Lol
    Like Tony Soprano pronounces it? Gabagool?

    That's the only exposure I have to that word...obviously I would not have guessed it means capicolla!

    I hate bad pronunciations.  Capicolla should not be pronounced 'gabagool' according to the rules of the Italian language.
    Should Thuringia be pronounced 'tulingen'?  I don't know enough about German to be sure, but I doubt it.

    Cutlets look awesome 
    I also steam my asparagus, although I snap the base and lightly peel them . So good.  (And yeah, that sounds interesting!)

    What do you mean steamer? Looking at it on my phone. I love tools but don’t know what I’m looking at.

    f me...you peel apsaragus? Seems like a lot of work. Worth it?

    I tie the asparagus up and stand up in a sauce pan.
    (Although that steamer looks sweet, I am working at trying to slow the accumulation of cooking tools.)

    Champagne Supernova has always bugged me for this reason.  "In a champagne supa-nover, a champagne supa-nover in the sky."
    And no way is capicolla "gabagool," that's just nonsense.  Do Italians say "I'd like an ice cold Goog Gool" when ordering a Coca Cola?  Come on.

    Champagne Supernova always bugged me, as well.  My reason is that I think the fucking song sucks.
    I wish both of those guys were caught beneath that fucking landslide.
