A Closer Look at Uncle Eric

This is your Uncle Eric on Thanksgiving Day, ninos, demonstrating his culinary skills with a bit of olive oil and garlic and a batch of shredded brussel sprouts. Yum! Who knew these handsome young bachelors could cook? He is a nice presence in your lives, one you will value even more with each passing year. [Nonna knows this because she had many uncles when she was little. They were dashing young men in sailor suits and graduation gowns and even a baseball uniform. They rode horses and chased cattle and drove trucks and flew planes and wielded a scalpel and stethoscope. They were (and a few of them still are Nonna is pleased to report) a wondrous presence in her life.]
Uncle Eric is sweet and smart and fun and good to have around. You will find more words to describe him the longer you know each other. And don't forget when it's snack time and you get hungry, he definitely knows his way around the kitchen.



Uncle Eric has excellent taste in ties, don't you think?
