My family is stationed in Italy with my husband, Lieutenant William Robert Blackman.  William grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and I’m from Texas, so the dish that spells “home” for us is a good ol’ barbecue.  I have my own recipe for barbecue sauce that we like to pour all over sliced brisket.  Eating it reminds us of weekend barbecues with our families.
