Farewell Pizza the Hutt

News reports have just appeared announcing the passing of Dom DeLuise. In addition to being an actor and comedian in many favorite films – especially those of Mel Brooks, Mr. DeLuise is the author of many cookbooks. Thegirls learned to love via movies and TV – especially the Shari Lewis Passover special.

Eat This .. It’ll Make You Feel Better, is a family favorite – when I post pictures of Ellie making her sauce, or lasagna, it’s from Dom’s recipe. They like the stuff out of that cookbook with its simple recipes for Italian-American food, and it reminds us of the Italian food we grew up with in the 60’s.

So raise a glass to a man who managed years of friendship with Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks:

Throw out your hands!!
Stick out your tush!!
Hands on your hips
Give them a push!!
You’ll be surprised
You’re doing the French Mistake!!
VOILA!!

Come on, try it; move the scene along
Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong
Wheeeeeeee!!

Throw out your hands!!
Stick out your tush!!
Hands on your hips
Give them a push!!
You’ll be surprised
You’re doing the French Mistake!!
………………VOILA!!
