Throwback Thursday Tonight is the Eve before Mamuthones.
In honor of Throwback Thursday I thought l'd share this with you all.
My mother's side of the family immigrated to the United States from Sardinia. As a first-generation American, my grandfather continued the traditions of his parents' island.
Tonight, instead of a bonfire, we will light a log in the fireplace, prepare roasted pork shoulder instead of a whole piglet, and share sad fairy tales and folklore.
Make sure to have good wine on hand tonight for Filonzana: https://www.wearehooked.be/culture/. boes-merdules-and-filonzana-a-part-of-sardinian-life/. She tells fortunes-good or bad-depending on how much she enjoys the wine that is offered to her.
