sprinkle of parsley
2 eggs

Submitted by Jay
*NOTE:I altered these a bit.
I added parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.Once they were mixed I shaped them into cylinders and rolled them in egg then seasoned bread crumbs. I arranged them in a casserole dish that I sprayed with cooking spray. I also sprayed the potato cakes then put them into a 350* degree oven for about an hour. They came a little lighter since they were not fried and the outer crust was still golden.
Delicious!
Gotta love a good potatoe!

Remembering My Dad...
Since today is All Souls Day...
I wanted to take a moment to remember my Dad.
He has been gone for 6 years , but I feel him with me always.
He wrote me a poem in Italian that I thought I would share.
For those who don't speak Italian...I'm sorry but I don't have the translation. Besides -some times you lose the true meaning in the translation.
"Alla Mia Susanna"
A te,
dolce creatura,
che un giorno gia lontano
all’alba mia apparisti
e desti tanta luce
e poi tanto calore
a tutti I giorni mei.
A te,
voglio cantare
con tanta tenerezza
la mia canzon d’amore.
A te,
piccolo fiore
che con la tua fragranza
profumi tutta l’aria
che il cuore mio respire.
A te,
che qual’usigunolo
canti le melodie
che cullan la mia mente
e dolcemente chiudono
a sera, quegl’occhi miei si’stanchi.
A te,
bambina mia
tenero fior,gentile e delicato,
voglio ripetere
quell’accorato canto
che sempre dice amore
e che senz’ali vola
al nido che tu tiene
nel cuore tuo fanciullo.
A te,
voglio ripetere
da mane a sera
di giorno e poi di notte
che tenero e l’amor
che porto in cor per te.
Per te,
la tenerezza
che sento dentro me
scorre tranquilla e placida
qual rivolo di monte.
Per te,
carezza dei miei occhi
un sentimento splendido
si’caldo, come il sole
da vita e da speranza
all’esser mio cadente.
Per te,
io vivo e sento
in tutte le mia membra
la tiepida carezza
che come caldo vento
da vita e da ristoro
ai giorni del mio inverno.
Io t’amo, t’amo tanto
O piccolo fior mio…
Quest’e’il mio dolce canto
che volo senza l’ali
al cuore tuo tremante.
