In the mixture they added potatoes that\npreserved softness for several days. At that time food had another value, and had\nto be preserved longer, nothing could be wated and work was optimized because\nthere was no frozen, pre-cooked, refrigerated food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a\nyoung woman working as a director of the post office &#8211; which at the time meant\nhanding letters, interfacing with the public, managing the office and being an\naccountant. Until a year before retirement she did not own a car: she used to\nwalk from her home to the post office and back, and&nbsp; she walked to deliver mail to every home, and\nshe did household chores. Back home, she started the fire on the floor because\nthe kitchen as we know it did not exist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alborina,\nas a working woman in the &#8217;50s and&#8217; 60s, did not have much time to devote to\nthe culinary arts, and by hand she just prepared ravioli her husband loved,\nalthough she could also make, for her mother had taught her, all varieties of\nhomemade pasta: cavatelli, orecchiette, tagliatelle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today she\nwakes up when the sun rises and goes to bed at ten at night. Her favorite dish\nis, without a doubt, vegetables! From chicory to cabbage, sweet peppers to\nbroccoli. Following a variety of legumes. And to complement her meal she drinks1-2\nglasses of red wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<font size=\"2px\">Interview by: Helga Sanit\u00e0 and Rossella Galletti\n<br>Video by: Enzo Pascolo and Gaetano D\u2019Antonio NFI\n<br>Editing by: Paolo Barone NFI\n<br>Subtitles by: Antonio Puzzi and Rossella Galletti\n<br>Document by: Rossella Galletti \n<br>Translate by: Francesca Magnani and Rossella Galletti\n<br> MedEatResarch &#8211; Center of Social Research on the Mediterranean Diet of the University of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa, head by Marino Niola and Elisabetta Moro\n<br>Created: 18-05-2019\n<\/font>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The secret to get to 100?
