Having What It Takes

Teresa talks chuckies, Fashion Week, Gia's modeling, and Danielle's luncheon.

May 11, 2010

 

Hello everyone! I read every one of your comments from last week. Thank you so much! And I also got to meet so many of you at the premiere party at The Brownstone and on my book tour this week. It’s official - I have the best, most BEAUTIFUL, FABULOUS fans!!!

I also want to thank you all so much for embracing my family's recipes and culture with Skinny Italian. It means the world to me ... especially when I see the pictures of you cooking with your own family. Please keep sending them to me! xx

So, this week's episode. I think we can sum it up with two phrases, right? "The Ham Game" and "Puffy Chucky." (How fun are shows on Bravo?) I can see how "The Ham Game" is fun for kids, but not so much for parents. If my girls ever start throwing ham around my kitchen...

And you didn’t see it, but when I was talking about "puffy chucky" it was my baby shower at Jacqueline’s house. I’m sad they didn’t show more of it. It was so beautiful! Of course at baby showers you talk about having babies and I had all four of my kids naturally (no c-sections, yes drugs.) When you push a big baby out, your chucky gets puffy. It’s a fact. Not a pretty fact, but a fact.

Oh yeah, and "chucky" is short for "chuckalina." It’s the nickname Dina, me and my girlfriends made up years ago for our "lady parts." Some say vajayjay, some say coochie, we say chuckalina ...

Hey Teresa you look so much like my mono and I love you my moms from jersey and Italian but she was sad when she moved down south so thanks for all the halirous shows you have put on HONEY!!!!!!!! What a great word and soooooo sweet

Teresa you crack me up! You're so sweet and nice and then WHAM GOES THE TABLE! hahahaaa i loved it...You're my favorite housewife! ( love all of you actually) ok except Danielle. She drives me out of my mind when she says woman instead of woMEN. " those woman are so mean to me" LOL..Did you ever notice that? makes me want to scream. Beautiful daughters! keep up the good work & keep tellin it like it is! capice? :)

LOL!!!! I love you and your family....u are so frigging hilarious Teresa you are a friend in my head. U constantly crack me up...."Puffy Chucky" luv it. I can't stop laughing, i look forward just to see you on this show. I like seeing strong families such as yours and Caroline....Your upbring reminds me of mine. Where chores manners and ass whopping were involve i know we don't recognize what a great job our parents did with us by being tough sometimes until we're adults with our own families. Glad you had another girl cause a boy would've completely thrown you off. Keep up the great work and tell Joe I say Heeeeeyyyyy!!!lol. FABULOUSSSSS!!!! Smooches.

I love the show expecially your little miss, she is soooo cute!!! What a good mama you are.

Teresa, I just love love love you. I think you are hysterically funny, and you just always tell it like it is!! You are a genuine person, and I love how you are with your kids. I'm going to get your book today!!!

Theresa
you should check out www.juniebees.com
it's my nieces website they have the most adorable things for little girls. Everything is one of a kind. Everytime I watch the show I think about your girls wearing their stuff. Congratulations on your new addition.

Tersa - I think you are real and care so much about your family, Joe though i'm not fond of. He puts you down and wants everything to be "normal" all the time, he should have more fun in life. Secondly why did he throw that beautiful pony away...you should donat toys in good condition to a charity! That was a bit disgraceful!

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU! and the main reason i love the show so much!

I love love you earrings in the second episode. They were turquoise and coral teardrop earrings. I can't find them anywhere. Do you recall where you purchased them? Thank you!

I just wanted to Thank You! I made your Rosemary potatoes with a marinated pork and my husband Loved it!!! Your cookbook is so fun to read and all the pictures really help, I especially enjoyed the chapter on olive oil and what is real Italian food. So had to say a big thank you because I haven't cooked in a while and your cookbook motivated me and gave me a very happy family night last night! So Thank You!!!!!!
Cant wait for more books from you!!!!!!

Teresa Iv always been a fan from day one your my favorite I love your personality your style and how it dosnt matter how crazy or hectic your life gets you and your daughters always look fierce

TERESA
I JUST HAVE TO SAY , I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY , YOU AND CAROLINE ARE THE REASON I WATCH FAITHFULLY EVERY MONDAY NIGHT , AND I CANT WAIT TIL YOU KICK DANIELLES ASS.....LUV YA GUYS!!!!

Teresa, i would love to taste your cooking one day. Maybe you should run a contest and the winner gets to have a dinner made by you. I would love that, authentic Italian food my fave.

Teresa, I like you, you did have to grow on me because you seemed arrogant a† first but I think when you and your family were making the tomato sauce, you just seemed so real. You are very funny too. My only problem with you is that your girls are not all that sweet and you spoil them too much. No one wants there kids disliked by others and you need to tone them down. Gia was good but seriously to keep saying how perfect she was, gets old. You can be proud without obnoxious. Plus your little daughter tearing up the store and running around should have been stopped. You and your husband are good people, please don't let your girls be brats.

Teresa!! I just wanted to tell you that you should be so proud of your beautiful girls!! Gia totally deserves everything she gets; she has such a good work ethic. Every time they show you walk in her room she's practicing something. It's so great to see you've shown your children that they have to work hard to get what they want out of life!! I also loved seeing them set the table; they did so well and they're so young. They are learning responsibility. I'm glad you've taught them that no one is "too pretty to work" We need more strong girls who work hard to get what they want!! You should be so, so proud.

Wow,Teresa your like the Oprah of Housewives, people are crazy about you. You seem to do it all, have it all and most of all, enjoy it all. You and Dina make me laugh and there is nothing better than a good laugh to make the soul stronger. Live life true to you and you'll never be disappointed, you seem to live your life that way. Good for you! I'll keep watching the show if you keep coming back. Thanks for the funny moments.

Teresa,

First - you so ROCK! The mere fact that you can ride herd on 3, extremely active, creative and girly girls is truly AWESOME to watch. The fact that you are blessed with such gorgeousness in your own fine self is awesome...Me? When I was preggers with my own little (if a 9lb. baby boy is little?) gift from God, I don't recall whether I was that active or not - I'm thinking by the time my son was born, my ankles were too swollen to be moving so fast. I adore the term puffy chuckie - it's PERFECT! And, unfortunately, so true.

I look forward to purchasing your book - we adore Italian cooking, but are trying to watch carbs, so if we can eat and be healthy? We'll try it - especially my now, 10 year old who must be on some sort of growth spurt - as he is eating me out of house and home.

Blessings to you and your three - whoops - 4 girls! I so admire the fact that you and your hubby are so in love. As someone who has had to work hard in her marriage, we're celebrating our 17th year this Saturday (May 22nd) so I find myself more in love with him every year.

Love to watch,

Amy in Maryland

Hi Teresa...I absolutely Love you and your Beautiful Family , I watched you on Wendy Williams show , Wendy's mouth Watering while talking about your recipes was hysterical...Danielle really needs to "Get A Life " and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing , she is so far gone , she don't even see how her behavior is affecting her own daughters. My 10 Yr old Daughter shares the same Birthday as you, she just turned 10 , and I am just like you...Right now , we are doing Gymnastics , Softball , Cheerleadig and Art School, so , I have to back you up when you say its Totally your Girls choice on what activity they are doing...I am Irish and German , but my Fiance is all Italian , so I will be buying your cookbook ,I need to learn how to cook Italian Food , he always makes the gravy ( sauce ) on Sunday Mornings...LOL

Teresa,
Your daughter Gia is right. Your husband should not call her an ugly duckling, even as a joke. Tell him to stop please. Your daughter is beautiful, but we are all insecure. A lot of a female's self-worth comes from how we look. It is traumatic to be thought of as unattractive, and I don't blame Gia for crying.

Teresa, you and Caroline has issues with Danielle fine but to date the entire season has been about you two verbally bashing Danielle. If this is what the entire season is going to be like Bravo should think about axing some family members and adding some new blood. At some point the Danielle bashing will get old, the flipping of the table will have worn off, and the constant name calling will bring in to question this "classy lady" you say you are. The classy women I know don't spend so much of their energy and time conducting themselves in the manner you and Caroline do. Get a new schtick.

I was able to make what I feel is an intelligent point without resulting to calling you or Caroline names. Try it Danielle sometimes. It might be the catalyst for some turned off fans of the show to believe you when you say you're a "classy lady".

Teresa, Ciao Bella, I watched the first episode of this season & I have two comments to make about when the family was making sauce. Your da is right about "that time of month". My dad is from Calabri region & always told me the same, well I tried canning green beans & all spoiled. Dont even go near the garden! Also Gia was only saying that she thought they made you wear your hair in the long curls & for a little girl no way, I hated my hair at her age and to think of wearing it like that when you grow up, no. Those who wrote mean things about it need to grow up!
Congratulations on Gia's runway show & the new baby.

Teresa, I love love love you! You have the most beautiful family! Your daughters are too cute for words!!! Gia looked unbelieveable on the runway. I watched all the seasons of the Real Housewives and by far New Jersey is the best!

Okay you New Jersey Housewives....you won me over!

I've always watched the other Wives but just wasn't "feelin' it" with your show.

Then.....I happened upon the episodes with with the table flipping (OMG!) and the season wrap up with Andy (OMG!) and here I am posting a comment on Bravotv.com!

Here's to women passionate about their children, husbands and keeping drama at bay.
From my German roots, I feel a kinship with you gorgeous Italians and your traditional values.

I posted to your blog Teresa because you said you "read all the comments" so please pass on my affection to your Sisters Familia.

yOU ARE AMAZING, AND YOU SEE THE TRUE DANIELLE, YOU ARE VERY SMART AND DINA, SHOULD BE AFRAID OF DANIELLE.LOVE YA AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY......GOING TO BUY YOUR BOOK , FOR MYSELF AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS.

Teresa,
You are clearly one of the favs of the show, just by judging from all these comments!

Your children are all adorable! Your daughter Gabriella doesn't really look like you OR Joe, then I finally figured it out. She looks just like your Mother! How cute is that? You know, a lot of genes skip a generation like, a grandparent might have red hair when neither parent does & the baby comes out with red hair.

Both of my kids looked like my Father, when they were born. It was funny b/c they were girls. LOL!

Good luck with the new baby & God Bless you all.

Oh Teresa, you "crack me up"...I LOVE watching what you are going to say next. Definitely a true Italian! All drama aside you look wonderful pregnant. I can't believe how active you are at 9 months (ready to POP)!

first Gia was just FAB on the runway second there is nothing wrong with your hair or fashion the hell with the haters

You are your family are gorgeous! I adore you all and may steal your daughter Milania's name for my baby girl! I was thinking of Milana, but now you changed my mind. I love the girls and you are too much to love!!! God Bless and stay fabulous!

Teresa, I love, love, love you! I don't care what anyone else has to say, I think you are great. I love your book and I think you should write a book on how to organize a home and time for a busy mom. You get more done, ( and you are pregnant too) than I've ever could. I thought Gia looked beautiful in the show.

Theresa, you are an awesome mom, wife and woman- a total class act- you have the wisdom & insight that is epically on point. I love you & keep doing what you're doing with the girls- Blessings to you on your new baby,new home & beautiful family. You are a CLASS ACT!

It amazes me how everyone feels they have the right to judge you because you are on television...true this is a "reality" show, but has no one ever heard of editing? They can edit shows so that all you see is the negative comment made by one person, not the conversation begun by others which led to it. Repeat for entire show and someone can look really bad.

Teresa, you have to be the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen. Are you a little outspoken, yes, is there really anything wrong with that, no...you are true to who you are and there are not many people who can claim the same. You and Caroline just call a spade a spade.

EVERYONE has their moments they are not very proud of, we are just fortunate that most times, no one else is there to see it. These ladies agreed to have it filmed, yes, but no one said you HAVE to watch.

Danielle is a frightening person no matter how you look at it. Some of the negative posts even look like they would really be from her. And before everyone goes commenting about how much the housewives talk about her, she does the same. What is the old saying, if everyone seems to have a problem with you, maybe the problem IS you. Her children should not have to be the ones to talk her out of being immature and "making an a**" out of herself, as her own daughter had to tell her. The will have enough to overcome in life without her adding to it. They seem to be very intelligent and beautiful children.

Kudos to you all for letting us into your lives each week. May you all be happy, and all of the new babies healthy.

Teresa, you told Danielle to get a job, but if I'm not mistaking, you didn't have a career either. Also, I agree with Londa. You seem to be a cool person but you need to stop being a follower of Caroline. Caroline already has children to tell what to do. Also, why do you all have so much time to sit around and talk about Danielle?? It's like you are known for spending money and talking about Danielle.

plain and simple....if you do not love Teresa and her beautiful family then something has to be wrong with you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE you Teresa - you speak your mind and you are hilarious! Danielle is a nut, anyone who watches the show can see that and how you put up with it...I have no idea, you deserve a medal or something!
Gia looked GORGEOUS at Fashion week...I just can't get over how great she is at walking and I mean you see so many kids who are forced into stuff like that and it is refreshing to see a pretty little girl who truly enjoys what she is doing!
Keep the fun coming! I can't wait til next weeks epidsode! You are an amazing mom and such a beautiful woman thanks for making the show so enjoyable!

Milania stuffing her bag with snacks was the best scene ever!!!!! She is so funny.

Teresa

I love your blog, it's up front and honest and that's why we love you. As for Gia, I thought she was AMAZING at Fashion Week. So beautiful and perfect. Tell Gia she has fans :)

I also wanted to say how much I love love love your cookbook. The recipes are great but I loved the pictures you chose even more. The book feels so warm and homey with your family in it and it is really lovely.

I'm excited to see what's in store next week.

Keep it up Teresa! You're an amazing woman.

Teresa - Gia was fabulous on the runway - a natural! I love how you and Joe are so natural and down to earth with your girls and with each other. Yes, you splash money around - but that's not who you are.

As for your being over Danielle - good for you - she's trouble with a capital T. Her friends/fans think that you hate Danielle - they don't understand that you don't hate her - you just have no time for her and no respect for her. She's too toxic.

i love you teresa and the rest of the ladies on this show!!
angry viewers out there should stop posting negative things about teresa and the rest of the cast on their pages. if you dont like these women stop watching the show, and stop wasting your energy on them too. this show is so entertaining to me and obviously to millions of fans out there. analyzing everything these women say and do is so annoying and sounds a bit jealous to me. talk about being in highschool... you people obviously live perfect lives so go on and live them, let us enjoy our show!!

Teresa, love the show! You are the best mom ever. Your husband adores you, keep having babies! Just to let you know if ever you want to see Gia's twin, come meet MY daughter, Mia. I am telling you, they could pass. They are even the same age! What are the chances?? If you ever come to California, stop by to meet her. I swear, all my friends/family say so.......it's pretty amazing. They say everyone has a twin, right? Love your sense of humor and I can't wait for more great episodes from the Jersey girls, my fave housewives ever!!

Saw you on "Wendy" today. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON
THE TRUE MEANING OF "BLOOD DIAMONDS".

YOU SHOULD BE CRYING, NOT LAUGHING.

I am one of those that does not think too highly of you. All you ever seem to think about is Danielle and how cute your kids are, please get a life. You talk about not liking drama but I honestly think you are the definition of drama and it isn't done with class, nothing about you says class, money yes, class a big nooooo! You are one of those high school mean girls that thinks you are entitled. For those of you that think this is Danielle I promise it's not, I am from Texas and we do not like girls and families like yours where I am from.

Teresa, you and your family kill me :) Thank you so much for making my Monday nights so much brighter!

I even got my husband to start watching Housewives of New Jersey with me this season. He resisted and grumbled at first, but within the first 10 minutes, he was hooked. Especially after watching the scene with you and your family making red sauce-- he's Italian and he was excited to see you making red sauce :)

Tyra Banks and Kimore Simmons, started modeling at 14, so why can't Dainelle's daughter, it really sounds like your are just Jealous, Theresa

Teresa you are a man's dream.You are totally devoted to your husband, your girls, family and friends. You make pregnancy sooo sexy. Please just be a little more tight with the girls. At times they ride you. It's OK to put them in check, so they cry or get mad big deal they'll get over it and forgettaboutit.
