NONI'S STUFFING
From Linda Curreri (Boston, MA) by way of Mary Murphy with help from Melissa Murphy
Mary had to send it to me because we used to have Thanksgiving with Bob and Mary so she was more involved with it than I was for a long time. Notice how the recipe changes from person to person? Melissa even added her Arizona touch to it. My mother and Aunt Jane used to argue over whether or not there were onions in it. Aunt Jane was very happy to see Uncle Charlie's recipe to know that someone put onions in it. With or without onions, I love it.
The beauty of Betty's stuffing is that it is not only good but you can add whatever and there never seemed to be any specific amounts. Betty did it all by how it looked. Whenever I asked her for the recipe, she never indicated that there was one.
Chopped celery
Sliced green olives (stuffed with pimentos)
Broken walnuts
Sliced fresh mushrooms
Bell's seasoning
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
Fresh bread and Pepperidge Farm's dry stuffing mix added after everything else
Cayenne pepper (Melissa's addition)
I can't tell you how much of each to add. It depends on how you want your stuffing. I am getting hungry thinking about the stuffing because it is my all time favorite recipe and I haven't had it for a while.

Joe's Biscotti Recipe was part of an exhibition, Brooklyn Utopias, which ran from October 2, 2009 - January 22, 2010 at the Brooklyn Historical Society. It culminated in a printed cookbook for participants.
Joe's Biscotti Recipe was offered as an active and dispersed monument to my father. Recipe cards with my father's prized biscotti recipe were available at the exhibition. He took great pride in cooking for his friends and family. It connected him to his Italian heritage and allowed him to express his love for those around him. August 2009 marked the five year anniversary of my father's passing.
In addition to being an offering, I wanted Joe's Biscotti Recipe to also act as a catalyst for the reciprocal exchange of meaningful recipes. Through the vehicle of the exhibition and this blog, I asked people to reciprocate with their own recipes that serve to connect them to people and/or places that are no longer with them physically.
As the online collection of recipes grew, the site acted to give form to the recipes and people that connect us to our social histories. Keeping these recipes and cultures alive today tactically ensures that they will be a part of our futures.
A print version of the online cookbook was produced at the closing of the exhibition and mailed out to all the contributors via USPS.
