Tales From A Hungry Life

About Maria Lagalante Schulz

  Maria Lagalante Schulz

 I learned my philosophy about food from my mother, who used to walk around our dining room table saying  “mangia tutti cosi,” which in English means “eat everything.”

That applied not just to food but to life—try it all and you’ll never miss a thing. I recently published a book called Tales from a Hungry Life–A Memoir with Recipes that features stories about food and fun with my very large family, friends, and our little dogs too.

I hope you enjoy it! Hint–it makes a great gift.

  1. Maria,
    We’re writing from the Tostitos Reunite America Campaign. We found your blog as a result of your posts about teachers in general and your favorite teacher in particular. We’re out looking for people who are interested in reuniting with someone, anywhere in the country, and teachers/students have been a big category.

    It can be a reunion with teachers/students, or childhood friends, or family, anyone that someone would love help reuniting with. We’re not sure whether you might be right related to your teacher but we really liked your posts and thought we’d reach out regardless. If there is anyone you’d like to connect with just come to our page:

    http://apps.facebook.com/tostitos_reunite/

    tell your story and if selected we’re going to help make it happen: hotel, flights etc. This phase of the campaign is ending next week so if you’re interested it would be great to hear from you this weekend.

    Thanks for all your time.

    Best,

    Dan

    Love your work! Touching, poetic, funny and very honest. I coast with your every word and thoroughly enjoy the ride. Thank you for sharing your stories and memories with so many of us who grew up in a time when there were no computer distractions and getting a handwritten note in the mail was something to savor.

    Always my best,

    Neil
