Today’s Cugine Corner marks my 43rd blog here at i-italy, an accomplishment which began with an op-ed piece about “Guidos” from last January.
I’d like to use this time to thank you all for your continued support and kind words for all my stories, recipes and musings on food and entertainment.
In 2011, I will be publishing my book which will be a compilation of these columns, along with lots more which are on my desktop and everything I went through over the past year—including my experiences in filming “My Big Friggin’ Wedding.” Click each link below to read every blog of 2010 by Johnny Meatballs...
