Wow

I was checking out Riverbend's recipies page, and was amazed at the similarities to my grandma's cooking. For those of you who don't know, my grandma made traditional Sicilian meals every other day. She and my grandpa had reached an agreement, you see. Sundays was spaghetti (except it was vermicelli), and the rest of the week alternated between Sicilian food for grandpa and American food for grandma.
You could convert nearly any of Riverbend's recipies into Sicilian recipies by trading the curry for oregano, and the cumin for basil. Amazing.

I knew the countries were geographically close, but I didn't know how close.
