This is my 50th post here on Pomato Revival, so I’m celebrating with something fancy! It’s a holiday of sorts, and in our family, holidays don’t begin until there are fresh ravioli in the house. We’ve never been crazy enough to make them ourselves, mind you. The tradition goes that my grandparents make a pilgrimage [...]

We’d often linger in our seats long after the meal was done, nibbling at fruit, cracking nuts, refilling glasses for wine and peaches.
