Today, April 27th, is a very important day. Felix Zito a.k.a. Poppa, was born 85 years ago. Now, I do not mention all of the births, anniversaries, & B-Days of my family members on this site, because there's just so darn many of us. But, this is a milestone indeed. Poppa was the reason, in a round about way, that the family cookbook idea started & eventually ballooned into this. After putting up with the family chaos & drama for so many years, he deserves some kind of a medal. Or at the very least, some praise here.

My family took him out to dinner on Sunday to celebrate. I heard he ate like a champ! His favorite thing to do. I spoke with him today & his spirits were good. I asked how he felt & he replied "I'm 85 today. I feel like an old bastard!" See, after all this time Poppa still has his sense of humor intact. Happy B-Day Poppa! We love you!!
