had the Very Italian moment just now of stirring my tomato sauce with a silicone utensil and apologizing “sorry Mom and Nonna that I’m not using a wooden spoon” to the literally empty apartment

also important to note that both Mom and Nonna are alive and well

#shhh sharkie #i’m using it for something else and i don’t want to make another utensil dirty!#but also both my mother and grandmother would faint on the spot if i didn’t use a wooden spoon #i remember when i moved into my first apartment ever and they were buying me cookware #cause Italians. they insisted on providing me with at least the basic necessities for cooking.#and my mom literally handing over this wooden spoon and saying ‘every italian should have a good wooden spoon’#they don’t know i stirred my sauce with a silicone spatula but i still feel like i’ve ashamed them in this moment
