Italian Grandma Makes Lasagna

[@brendarobinson178]

Ms Gina. You warm my heart. I am a 70 year old African American woman and in 1960 was raised in our family home on an all Italian Street in Park Slope Brooklyn. Our homes and back yard was connected to the most amazing Italian family. There was never a bitter word from those lovely people on our street. The neighbors two daughters were the same age as my sister and me. We grew up as life long friends. Their daughters along with my sister and I returned over the years to share kids and visit our respective parents. Ms Salvina was their mom and the dad was a postal worker that she used to call Anthony. (Antho-nee😊) She and you could have been sisters. I smile and recall the countless Italian meals and priceless memories we shared with the homeowners and families on 10th Street between 5th and 6th. God bless you and your family Ms. Gina.

I don’t care what race, ethnicity, or cultural background you come from good grandmas 👵 are all the same! They’re everyone’s grandma!! 🤗

you're right about that!

[@dorism.5478]

Grandmas cook with such grace and details and so much love. No matter the time of day, if you ask for something, they do not hesitate to do it for us. Moms, they'd think for a second lol. But not our grannies 😍🙏🏼♥️ and in my case I'd like to add my older sister. She never says no.

[@toddminett7561]

They are what the world is missing. People think strong women are strippers. Nope, strong women are the foundation of families. Mine were Italian and native American. Best women ive ever known and the only type i will marry. High standards these days.

[@davidsowers3295]

Grandma's live to Love you, to teach you, and to selflessly make you happy! They are slow moving superheros for your soul! One thing you don't have is enough time. If your lucky enough to have one or more grandma's, spend time with them. Not for them, for both of you! Learn to cook or sew or garden,nothing tastes better than unconditional Love. But most of all, learn how to be a better mom and dad today, and how to be the best grandma and grandpa soon! They never go out of style and our World needs them more than ever. PEACE

You are right. There is something special about grandmas that make them universal. I am haitian and I love this Italian grandmother.

=( I used to have a nice old Italian lady as a neighbour, she lived off pension and extra benefits because her husband had fought in WW2 and died, but man she was so nice, would make whole trays full of lasagna for the whole street, she lived on that street for most of her life, back then everyone trusted each other and she used to babysit me, she'd just randomly show up at your door and give you a pie, she really was born from a kinder generation. Really reminds me of this video.

I sincerely hope the old lady is well considering what is happening in Italy with this terrible virus. She's so precious and kind. We need lots more people like her. She's so patient and meticulous ! I wish I was her daughter. Having the perfect cook in the house! Lucky people!

OMG, I ADORE THIS WOMAN. God bless America and God bless you to Gina! She brought tears to my eyes. Her sacrificial generation were the best the world has ever seen, and they won't be with us forever. Cherish and love them, as they are truly precious.

I made this today for Christmas dinner. Yes, I used store bought pasta and sauce, but I included all the love I could. As I watched Gina, I dreamed of my late grandmother. They spoke the same way, sang the same way, and cooked with love! How I miss her! And Gina, thank you for teaching us so that we too can share with our families. Merry Christmas and god bless!

Hi Gina! I married into an Italian family 17 years ago. Boy, did I have a lot to learn! My mother in law passed away right before Christmas and while I learned a lot from her I feel as if I can now continue to learn from you the things she never got the chance to show me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us your talent. Xo

Signora Gina, la Sua vitalità mi incanta, le Sue ricette mi conquistano! Benché io conosca l'inglese, amo scriverle in italiano, perchè la Sua italianità è meravigliosa! Grazie!❤
