Annie first told a rendition of this story in 2014 as "Spaghetti and Meatballs" on WFUV radio, "CItyScape" hosted by George Bodarky.

What happens when the spirits push you around?

When you think you're doing one thing when you're doing another

Annie thinks she's doing an art project, when the ancestors shake her to her bones.

This is the story of Annie's Mom Rachele and how she always carried a frittata in her pockabook, and fed everyone.

Dedicated to Rachele Clare Petruzzelli Lanzillotto, 1926 - 2016, may her sparkle live on forever.

Annie first performed "Frittatagoraphobia" August 2001, as a cooking show at The Smithsonian Folk Life Festival in the "Food Tent"-- in a session curated by Annie Hauck-Lawson.  

On December 8th, 2008, Annie performed a rendition of this story with percussionist John Gennari at The Astor Center, in Manhattan,  in their "Kitchen Jazz Lazzi" duet, for the promotion of the book, "Gastropolis: Food and New York City", edited by Annie Hauck-Lawson and Jonathan Deutsch (Columbia U Press) in which Lanzillotto wrote Chapter 13: COSA MANGIA OGGI, on her Bronx Italian youth through food. 

Annie Lanzillotto recounts meeting Rabbi Simkha Weintraub at an epic party in Brooklyn, January 2020, the January before the plague.   Rabbi Simkha counsels Annie using lessons from the destruction and rebuilding of The Temple.  A parable in its tone.
