My parents came to Staten island NY from Mexico and the first job my mom had was cleaning houses, mostly rich Italian families and they all lived on the same block, or around the corner, my mom use to take me and I remember the families they were all kind and loving and always treated me and my mom with love and respect, I had authentic Italian food made by the grandmother's, they always made sure I ate, I will always cherish those moments

Unless you had big enough container and then attach some device to a hand drill (like when mixing just a bucket of concrete). Also, the amount of time to blanch, peel then seed the tomatoes would be a lot. We do that for our peeled tomatoes, which is very labor intensive. We blanch, peel, quarter and seed them, then pack in jars with a little salt and some basil. Then boil the jars. We use them for when we want some chunkiness in a dish. Great idea, though!

The Pinello family: Argues as to how you cut the tomatoes. Me: *Laughs in food processor*

I'm a first generation Sicilian in Toronto Ontario and you guys remind me of my family when I was a kid. Problem for me is we stopped doing the tomatoes when Nonno died. This video makes me want to start up again. You meal reminds me of home when I was a kid. Thank you for taking me back and bringing a tear to my eye. --sam
