Oh Paule I LOVE this story! Your father: a food shlepping hero! And I cherish your kind words.

Marlena, you are heroic and so funny. Years and years ago, my own father tried to bring back a Parma ham from Italy. Of course he could not smuggle it in his bra and when the customs in NY took it from him, he asked for a knife and started slicing some and eating it. Well it's probably a legend but your story is real, brava

Lucy Ricardo, smuggling a block of cheese disguised as a baby, has nothing on you! May the skies always be friendly. ❤️
