I have one of the worst headaches ever! If I didn't feel so guilty about not updating my blog on a daily basis, I'd be in bed trying to sleep this off, since my advil has yet to work!!!! But I need to post ...

Tonight we had riggies and meatballs for dinner, which didn't turn out too bad considering I was completely out of fresh garlic. A pisser for sure but one I managed to sidestep in order to get the meal made. Whenever I make meatballs, it's as if I'm transported back in time. Instead of my own little kitchen, I stand at the ready by my Nonni's side, watching as her weathered hands plow down into the bowl, churning the meat, spice and breadcrumb mixture round and round. I remember always being in such awe that she never measured anything, always knowing exactly how much of each ingredient was required to make the perfect meatball and how her hands cupping over themselves would mold the meat into the most round circles I have ever seen. Being Italian, Nonni made sure her grandaughter's were well educated in the kitchen.

It's no wonder, that making meatballs should remind me of her, making me feel as if she were still here, guiding me during the preparation, like an angel over my shoulder. Maybe it would explain why at the precise moment I was making meatballs tonight, this was the song that filled my kitchen with music.Artist : Ringo Starr

Song : Never Without You

And your song
Will play on
Without you
And this world
Won't forget
About you
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Without you without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
'Here Comes the Sun' is about you

Here today
Not alone
With my memories
Life is strange
How things change
It's reality
You played a beautiful melody
That keeps on haunting me
I can always feel you
By my side

And your song (Your song)
Will play on (Play on)
Without you (Without you)
And this world (This world)
Won't forget (Forget)
About you (About you)
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Without you without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
'Here Comes the Sun' is about you

I know all things must pass
And only love will last
I'll always love the memories
Of you and me…

And your song (Your song)
Will play on (Play on)
Without you (Without you)
And this world (This world)
Won't forget (Forget)
About you (About you)
Every part of you was in your song (Your song)
Now we will carry on
Never without you (Never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)

We're never without you (We're never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)

We're never without you (We're never without you)
We're never without you (We're never without you)
Within you without you (Within you without you)
I think love is about you...
