| The Beans arriving to Little Italy. |
Today is December, 26 Saint Stephen in The USA and Sant Esteve in Andorra where The Grandma was born. It's an ancient Andorran tradition eating cannelloni in this date. Cannelloni, like pizza in Italian cuisine, migas in Andalusian or Carn d'Olla in Catalan one is a dish that has its origins in the poverty.
The Grandma is a great fan of keeping traditions and although The Beans are in NYC enjoying the city, she has invited all the family to have dinner in Little Italy, one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Lower Manhattan, where they will find a mixture of Mediterranean tradition and American one, feeling closer to home although they're not near because an enormous deep ocean separates the two continents.
The Grandma has choosen one of the best restaurants in the area, Pizzeria Napoli, where they will taste the best Neapolitan dishes and The Grandma will be able to evocate her memories about Naples, the beautiful unforgettable capital of the Campania Region. She will take profit of the situation and will try to play a little with numbers and probabilities doing the impossible, possible, meeting with one of the most superstitious communities around the world: The American Neapolitan People.
And wouldn't it follow that everything made from those things is ruled by numbers, too? Genes, chromosomes, us, the Universe.
