DEB SPENCER GRAY (BILL'S WIFE) on NINA'S COOKING

Coming from a family of culinary-challenged cooks, I thought I was in hog heaven going to the Tiezzi family gatherings.  I remember the first time I had Nina’s 7-up Salad one 4^th of July.  It was delicious! (One of the reasons I married Bill!).  She gave the me the recipe, but mine never tasted as good as hers.  She was a wonderful cook and I felt lucky that she shared her recipe “secrets” with me.  I think one of the reasons she was such a great cook was that she constantly tasted everything while it was cooking. By the time a meal was ready to serve, she wasn’t hungry because she had been eating all day!
