Welcome to the channel | Incredible Rabbit Stew

[@thespicynonna]

My Nonno made all the wax figures by hand (sculpting out of clay) for Rock Legends Wax Museum in Niagara Falls. The museum no longer exists (although we still have all the figures). You can check out the museum here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4G1k6NjaceBeK8 And he says he's not an artist!!

[@rofflesufunny]

That's so dope

[@gratchets]

He made all of those while still working at painting houses? Amazing work ethic! Wow. They're so cool. Glad you still have them. That's a family legacy!

[@lulumoon6942]

Typical Nonno humility, he's quite the artisan! 😮👍

[@amorphoussolid8512]

Yep! dEfiNtelY nO aRtiSt hErE! Lol! The man is brillant! The nanna (my term for grandmother) is next level on the lovin' an' cookin' skills. Life lessons for all! Thanks a bunch for making these!

[@darleneengebretsen1468]

He's a wonderful artist!

[@Internal.Inferno]

"Goodbye, talk to my husband." Haha, I see the dead-pan sense of humour runs in the family. ♡

[@omegasage777]

Aww, Nonna saying that she feels like it's Christmas everytime she gets to see her kids and grandkids warms my heart

[@lindapatterson6993]

Spicy Nonna is a national treasure, and her artist husband as well. A wonderful family, thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@VizualsbyJ]

This is such a beautiful channel! Thank you Vanessa for steering your viewers here and to your brother for creating the channel! Your Nonno and Nonna remind me of my late grandparents. No nonsense, lots of love, good food, humor and working with your hands. I look forward to learning some recipes and seeing more stunning sculptures 🥰

[@thespicynonna]

Our pleasure!

[@richevans609]

I love this Channel! My condolences as well to the Family! ❤

[@nightengale2123]

This video pleasantly came up in my feed. I am a 66 year old Nonni as my grandkids call me. My maternal grandparents immigrated to the US in the early 1900s from Manfredonia, Italy which is in the Province of Foggia in the Puglia region of Italy. My grandfather passed when I was 8 months old, but was blessed to have my grandmother who lived a 10 minute walk from my home in my life until I was 21. My grandmother being the oldest of 12 children became the matriarch of her family when her parents passed, so I was surrounded by many great aunts and uncles and a gazillion cousins growing up which made up my lively and loud Italian family. My grandmother was a great cook but even a better baker. For many years she had a small in home business making Italian cookies for weddings, and being one of her two grand daughters I inherited her cookie recipes which are like gold to me all written on scraps of paper. Now I make those same cookies with my own two grand daughters for the holidays. Wish you the best with this channel featuring your grandparents as they are a delight to watch. 😁

[@outdoorgurl2474]

The Italian accents are EVERYTHING! Honestly could listen to you talk all day long. Definitely looking forward to many more videos😊

[@mr.patriotjol]

Same. But i got to say, Nonno sounds like Vito corleone

"Sometimes we have to yell..." been there, done that!! So great to share family! ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryjobaham4680]

I grew up with my Nana & Dad who were both hard of hearing so I am used to yell/talking. Drives my husband nuts 😂

[@kaindbar]

This is seriously so sweet to share your guys' grandparents, their cooking, their love, and secrets. A treasure trove of memories to be made on this channel, very sweet and exciting!

[@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943]

My Italian grandfather died when I was in fourth grade (1983), but I recall him clearly and fondly to this day. He was always kind to me, taught me to tend the garden of his backyard, and to love animals. He made many things from wood, and he had a garage full of tools, but he died so young that I didn't learn much of his expertise. He did take me fishing. I miss you, Grandpa. I'm glad your grandparents are both still alive and loving one another. My mom's mother, wife of my departed grandpa, lived until 2013, and she would have been 94 that year. She was an amazing cook, seemstress, and gardener. She was frugal as anything from living through the Great Depression. I think her words to me are more sound today than ever: "If you can't afford to buy it with cash, don't buy it at all." I miss you, Grandma. My father's father had died before I was born, so I never got to know him. His mother lived until 1994 when cancer took her. She was a kind, patient, loving woman who did everything she could to keep her home and family clean and cared for and running smoothly; she was the matriarch of that line for as long as I knew her, and everyone respected her. I miss you, Grandma. I don't need to tell you to treasure and cherish your own grandparents as it's so clear that you do. Best wishes from a new subscriber from The Girl With The Dogs.

[@mollyollyollygosh]

My grandparents died when I was very young, both were immigrants coming over from Germany and Poland. Seeing this is really beautiful. Cooking was a big part in my family too, with my Oma showing her love through delicious meals. Thank you for sharing this, your Nonna is beautiful and your Nonno is the sweetest. Much love from the UK x

[@milome305]

Some Sculptures?, Some work here and there????. NONO you underestimate yourself. Those figures sculptures that you made are amazing. You and Nona are one in a million people that at this age do amazing works 24/7. You guys are busy all the time doing anything, That is amazing. I wish I had a NONO like you. I send you both a big hug from Kansas. God Bless you both with lots of health 🙏

[@scrabble3]

It's so lovely to see grown grandchildren enjoying hanging out with their grandparents and cooking together in the kitchen. ☺

[@pal5683]

Such awesome people! The " When I see my kids and grandkids its like Christmas" really touched my heart. My grandparents were the same way, they lived way out in the country and would sit on their front porch every day in Mississippi heat waiting for someone to stop by. They had nine boys, and all of them had their own families so they had company more days than not. Chicken and dumplings were made for lunch every Tuesday and everyone who could come did. Most people would have called them poor but I believe they were rich in every way that was truly important.

[@Lee-fw9mr]

"My Grandkids drive me crazy" less than 30 seconds in..... I love them already. SUBBED!

[@amytheune286]

Grandparents are such a blessing. My Grandmas taught me to cook and my Grandpas taught me to drive and fix things. All 4 were such a presence in my life. I was blessed to have two of them till I was 41. Miss them all everyday.

[@janedoe730]

Thank you girl with the dogs. I'm gonna eat this up! 😂

[@elainaworsley470]

My grandmother used to make amazing rabbit stew sometimes we would put it in side a huge yorkshire pudding and pour the gravy from the stew over it. She was a wonderful cook, and never timed anything as she never learned to tell the time. It always came out amazing. She raised 10 kids and would get up extremely early morning just so she could back bread so kids had a slice of dripping and bread before the ventured out. She was some lady.

[@elainaworsley470]

👋

[@blackwingrose]

"I'm not a good cook" "I"m not an artist" ...they are both adorable full of it.

[@tonycamaj7243]

Thanks for introducing us to your grandparents. She’s definitely a good cook. Grazie Nonna! ❤

[@94agoodyear]

I came here from Girl With The Dogs. I haven’t had rabbit in many years, but I think it’s time to buy it again. I loved this exchange: “How many potatoes, Nonna?” “Oh, quite a few.” It seems the best cooks always know by just eyeballing the ingredients. A skill I do not have! 😊

[@wickedcabinboy]

The Spicy Nonna cooks with love. That's the best kind of cook there is.

[@SilverJulyMoon]

When your grandfather said "Bye bye." so sweetly, it reminded me of my grandfather who says the same thing when I got off the phone with him knowing he could pass at any day. It just made me think of my grandfather so much. Your grandparents are beautiful souls! ❤️❤️

[@luns486]

I grew up in a different hemisphere from my grandparents and barely got the chance to know them. I'm jealous of your deep connection to your roots and your ability to learn the kinds of lessons that can only come with a vast amount of life experience.

[@michellewarmath7811]

Thank you so much for creating this channel. Your grandparents are amazing and the food and sculptures make me nostalgic for the beautiful Italian cities I would visit when I was living in Europe: Cortina, Bolzano, Milan, Padoue, Florence, Venice, and of course, Rome. I am happy to follow along. Bless

[@gibinal116]

I’ve been binge watching these videos. My grand parents have gone on but watching your grand parents is so comforting. ❤️

[@rosemarybelore6622]

Thank you so much for sharing the link to your grandparents channel❣️ It is so wonderful to see grandchildren, not only spending time with their grandparents, but also celebrating them and documenting their lives for others to share ❤️ You and your brother are wonderful to do this and I for one am thankful to be able to see what wonderful people your Nonno and Nonna are ❤ I’m looking forward to watching all the videos on this channel and trying g some of the recipes. I love rabbit and grew up in Newfoundland eating it quite often. My husband is now dipping his feet in trapping so I hope to get to eat it again and try Nonna’s recipe and her potatoes too 😊

[@onlyjesussaves840]

Thank you Vanessa, Junior, Nonno & Nonna. I really enjoy these videos - your chats, your cooking, your artwork, and your love. You ARE an Artist, Nonno!! ❤❤❤❤

I think Vanessa's brother's name is Julian, not Junior!

[@salildeshpande7]

their advice makes so much sense and yet its so simple we don't even think about it

[@rhymeswithbanana4280]

Love this! Your grandparents remind me of my mom and dad. They immigrated here in 1955 and lived happily here in Canada until their passing in 2012 (dad) and mom (2020). They had thick accents as well and my dad was a house painter as well. He was definitely a jack of all trades and could fix anything. Mom ran the house and was an unbelievable cook. Thank you for sharing, this brought back many memories! ❤️

[@AJR-zg2py]

I live in Northern Ontario where a lot of Italians settled in my city 70-100 years ago. Almost all of them were house painters or masons LOL

[@jimlasswell4491]

Hi Vanessa, when I first tuned in to your channel I realized you had Mediterranean and probably Italian roots; though not as closely as grandparents. I like them.

[@dantejaiudijr2610]

Nice couple. They both remind me of my Italian grandparents. All four are gone but not forgotten. Like all great Italians who came to the new country and made the USA their home, I say thank you. Without my Grandparents, I wouldn't be here. Both my parents are gone but they left a lifetime of memories, love and great food. Now, it's OUR turn to give to next generation to continue what our family gave us. Ciao,...🧐🌲👍

[@ruthmccord6313]

I miss my Italian grandparents. After many years I have finally been recognized as an Italian citizen and I just received my Italian passport two weeks ago! I often wonder what my grandparents would have said about my quest for Italian citizenship! They came to the states in the late 1930's and never wanted to return to Italy.

[@snoozieq4584]

Oh, they remind me of my polish and russian grandparents. They are so sweet! Cherish this time with them. All too soon it will come to an end. I'm a grandmother now and finding myself doing almost the same things as my grandmothers and great grandmothers. Thank you so much for sharing them with us 🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘

[@evavargova42]

I'm so delighted that you're doing this, I immigrated to US from Eastern Europe and it brings me such joy to watch this because it reminds me of when my sister and I were younger and we cooked with both my grandparents. I'm Slovak but my heritage is actually Hungarian, we call me grandma Nagyi similarly to Nonna. My Nagyi also used to make rabbit little bit different of a process that also very very delicious. We had raised our own growing up. I no longer eat meat and neither does my sister but I sure appreciate great recipes in other cultures. Thank you so much for posting this I can't say enough how much this has warmed my heart. Your grandparents remind me very much of my own. 🥰

Vivete in Canada ma siete due stupendi nonni italiani. Vi ho scoperto solo 2 giorni fama ho guardato e riguardo cob grande affetto i vostri video. Riconosco nella storia della vostra famiglia la quotidianità della mua famigli: due nonni preziosi, figli che si prendono cura dei genitori e trascorrono tempo con loro e nipoti che amano i loro nonni, curiosi dell'arte del nonno e appasionatamente golosi dei manicaretti della nonna. Vi mando un affettuoso saluto dall'Italia e auguri per le festività natalizie❤

I will be coming back to visit Nonna and learn some new recipes! Luv you, 😘 From Miz Mary's (little) Bitty-est Grandbaby.

[@peggymiller9064]

I love your white hair!! When my Italian Daddy passed away in his 70s he still had all black hair.

[@callmeleah]

I wish for my loves and I to be as resilient and fortunate in our lives as you. Not lucky, but consistent, tenacious, and dedicated. Nonna you remind me of my grandmother, who passed on 2015, who was joy and light and love and peace. I would often sit at her feet and rest my head on her stomach, and she would pet my hair and tell me sweet things and make silly faces. Nonno, my grandfather was a crafter - he built things, fixed things, renewed things that others might have tossed away. He had cancer too - but he did not survive it. Up until the time we had to give him hospice care he was still active, painting stairs and worrying about all of the things that still needed doing. I wish, for both of you, health and love and warmth and light. For every day you have, and for every day your children and their children have.
