四月，加拿大東郊仍然下著雪。
我和農夫一家在田間忙了一個早上之後回到農舍，農婦奉上香茶後便去做午飯，不到一句鐘便捧著一鍋熱騰騰的螺絲粉出來，還有羅馬生菜沙律和紅酒。
農婦說她娘家是意大利西西里人，鄉間生活簡樸，田裡有甚麼便吃甚麼。
我說西西里是教父 Vito Corleone 的老家，就叫這鍋香噴噴的螺絲粉做教父螺絲粉啦，逗得一家人哈哈大笑。

茄子和番茄等量，任何意粉都可以，多少隨意。
煮一鍋水，水開後放入意粉，邊煮邊搞。
茄子和番茄切大粒，先放茄子落鍋，乾燒一會，放番茄落鍋，加油快炒。
把剛煮好的意粉湯倒出來，把意粉倒入餸中，炒勻即成，原鍋上枱。
中菜很少會把茄子和番茄一起煮，想不到味道如此鮮甜；吃意粉的時候加點羊奶芝士和新鮮香草，好味之極，施姐姐不妨一試。09Dj.WD
It is still snowy in the east countryside of Canada this April.
I worked with the farmer and his family members in the field busily all morning.  Then, we went back to the barn.  After the farm lady served us some tea with lovely scent, she went to prepare meal for us.  Within an hour, she came with a big pot of hot Fusilli, Cesar Salad and red wine.
The farm lady said she came from Sicilia, life was simple back home and they ate whatever grew in the field.
I told her since Godfather Vito Corleone came from Sicilia, let’s name this delicious pot of Fusilli “Fusilli Corleone ”.  All found this a good joke and laughed joyfully.
