Joy to the Globe

Under the heading of "One Cook's Best Dish," there's a story at Boston.com about Joy Cagno and her recipe for roasted-pepper frittata. Joy is from East Boston and we were in the same class together at East Boston Central Catholic back in the late 1970s.

She was Joy Zirpolo then -- sweet, adorable and a social butterfly. (Yeah, I had a crush on her, but so did everyone else.) Years later I saw her routinely when she was a waitress on weekends at the old Caffe Italia on Meridian Street.

Now a mother of three teens, Joy lives in Malden, but her parents are still here in Eastie, and according to the story, she's here every week for Sunday dinner.
