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- I understand you don't like Danielle. What I don't understand is why you have to bring her up ALL the time! It seems like you can't bash this woman enough. If I disliked someone that much I would probably never talk about them again!

Seriously, focus on someone or something else. Move on. What Caroline said about Danielle's kids was DISGUSTING and as a mother you should have said something whether you like Danielle or not- that's just the right thing to do.

I wish you and your family happiness and success in all of your ventures!

Love you!!! you are the best!

Love, love, love you Teresa! You crack me up everytime! The scene with you and Joe with the chopper was hysterical. Reminded me so much of my husband. He would have no clue about Fashion Week either.

Your daughter is beautiful and full of personality. Don't even listen to that Danielle, we all know she is an idiot who is so full of herself.

The way you handle your daughters and the way she handles hers are not even in the same league. Like I said on her blog, her daughters seem sweet and wonderful IN SPITE of her. You daughters seem amazing BECAUSE of you.

Keep doing what you are doing, girl! We love you in NY ~

I think you are the reason I have such a guilty pleasure thing with this show. There is an ease about which you go through life that comes across onstage and in your blogs. Love it!

I bought Skinny Italian, by the way, and have effectively replaced butter with extra virgin olive oil. :)

Theresa--your family is adorable! Gia is already a superstar!! I just got your book and am sooo excited to try some of your recipes. The picture of you as a child looks exactly like Gia!! How cute!!

I Love you Teresa! You're the best!!! I thought the same thing when Danielle said Gia didnt have what it takes, Im like seriously she is 8, if she wasn't 4 feet tall I would be concerned!!!!! Keep your doing your thang!!!! You girls are beautiful and you have an amazing family and group of friends!!!!

First of all...LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PAMPERED CHEF CHOPPER. I think it is one of the tools men like to use, and I loved how he wouldn't stop chopping to listen to you. Shows how real you guys are.

Gia is amazing! What a personality, wonder where she gets it from. You and Joe remind me of my parents. With the sex talks and everything. NEVER STOP...that is what is going to make you feel like your newlyweds forever. that's my parents secret. ;)

Thanks for making the show great to watch!

Does your dad share his red sauce preparation? I wish I knew more Italians in South Dakota!!!

you had your baby VAGINALLY if you used drugs during labor. naturally is if you had no drugs and you had her vaginally. congrats! and you have a beautiful family!

Teresa I love you!! Thank you for your tip on the chopper, as soon as I saw the scene I said I wanted one of those, and you told us where to get it! And I already went online and got mine! Thanks...

Please leave Danielle alone try and get along for once your show is getting hard to watch I'm not saying you have to love her just stop talking about her so much ..

Your baby did great! She is so cute! and you ma'am look awesome wiht everything you wear, and you are preggo!!! omg the shoes were killer as well!

Gia is adorable and you can tell she loves what she's doing! I wouldn't consider for a second that you are putting pressure on her. I wish I had that kind of support when I was a child. I think you handle it just fine and so does she. While it is disturbing to watch Danielle, you certainly don't need to defend yourself to her. And to those you only have to say about you that you are "dumb" puleeze! I think you're refreshing and adorable in your own right!

lol, i

Teresa, I love you!!! I think you are so funny and you have a wonderful family. Your little daughter is beautiful and she looks like she really enjoys and has fun doing the modeling thing. Keep up the good work and ignore the train wreck Danielle!!! You hit the nail on the head when it comes to her.

I love Teresa! And I can't wait to pick up her book!

The RYoNJ is great because you are all so real and so loving. You are actually real housewives, who are fabulous and family-oriented. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Teresa! Your family is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!

Teresa, I love your family and just how you are as a person.! You have an incredibly gorgeous family! Wishing you and your family much success!

Teresa, I love you and your family!!! The relationship you have with your girls is great!

Teresa, As much as I love watching The Real Housewives of NJ, I think Bravo needs to have a show centering on you and your family. It would be a sure fire hit!! You and the girls have so much personality and your husband is great ("Love a couch? Why would I love a couch?" It still cracks me up!)Love, love, love YOU!

Your family is adorable. You're doing a great job. Shake off Danielle, she's toxic.

Congrat's for Gia! Love ya Teresa!!!

Teresa, you are hilarious! Gia is adorable! You are absolutely right, Gia is a happy kid. She seems well adjusted and she is very polite. You and Joe did a good job on all of your daughters, and I'm sure your new baby will be just like her sisters. Your blog was right on. Unlike Danielle, you are clearly just there for Gia. Well put. You guys are all better off without her negative energy and bitterness. Good luck to all!

Come on - you are a wee bit jealous. Being a stage mom yourself you really should have held back on bashing Danielle taking her daughter to model. Look in the mirror. Actions speak louder than words.

I love you guys...you all rock! I can't wait for Mondays @ 10 p.m....that is MY time. :) Thank you all so much for keeping it real. And Danielle scares me and I live hundreds of miles away...so kudos to you all! LOL

I love you!!! you are a great Mam!

Love you and your sassy attitude Teresa! We'd be friends in real life, you're hysterical! Your daughter Gia is such a pretty little girl, and she has the "look" for modeling! You ARE a stage mom though! And who wouldn't be, she's beautiful! I so wish i could come on the show for 1 week so I could tell Danielle off! She is a complete NUT job!!! Love it when you bust on her, keep up the good work! ;)

Teresa,

Gia was so funny doing her catwalk. And you were laid back and let her do her own talking with the woman who was doing the casting. Loved her scream when you told her. I also love my Pampered Chef chopper. They have the best stuff. I will be getting your cookbook it looks good. I thought it odd to have a celebatory luncheon for Christina and she wasn't invited. Drama, drama, drama with the two empty chairs when both Dina and Jacqualine said they couldn't come. Loved the whole chucky thing, too funny. I don't think my husband would know what Fashion week is either.

Teresa you ARE fabulous!! Have you ever seen the Nutty Professor? How funny would that be to get you and MAMA KLUMP together and say FABULOUS!!! Would be a great show!! hint hint bravo!! LOL

Teresa I loooove you! People say I have a lot in common with you. I don't see it,you're beautiful and amazing whereas I'm not but I'll take it! I just wanted to say... I think Danielle (or as I call her the "housewhore" while you and the other three are housewives) anyways Danielle has stolen some of your catch phrases!!

Love, love, love watching you! You are hilarious, and your family is so cute! Congrats to Gia - she is a mini you.

teresa, i love the way you write! enjoyable to read. keep it coming

Loved the episode and LOVE LOVE LOVE Skinny Italian!! Best wishes! :)

I can not believe you said on TV, about turning your son gay. I have never figured out how to turn someone gay. When you figure that out let Me know.

Teresa!! I love love love you!! your my fav! love your pretty girls! AND I love your cookbook! Im making the shrimp tonight!! My boyfriend read more of the book so far and is telling me things about it!! lol! You rock and Danielle is just jealous that she doesnt have a loving supportive friends and family. Keep it up!! good luck Gia!!

love you Teresa!!! Keep doing what you're doing

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about why Danielle needs a bidet to flush her chuckalina! You always crack me up! I love reading your blog entries and following you on Twitter!

i think that you are the best! you are so funny, and right on about the crazy that is on the show! she is nuts! you crack me up every week, thanks for that. after working a hard long day and then coming home to take care of the kids and dinner and the house i need a good laugh! keep doing what your doing and thank you for being you!

I love your girls! They are so cute, and what personalities they have! Your my favorite housewife!

Love your girls..so sweet and natural..Bravo needs to spin you and your family into a reality show of your own...with your family and your parents it would be terrific fun and a great way to show America a warm and loving family.

Teresa, you are a great mamma. You and Joe deserve your own show. Ever since you were a guest blogger for NYC I have really gained some insight into how intelligent you secretly are. Hey, you may now always know the right word when speaking but you are really articulate and insightful when you blog. So much MORE so than Danielle who can't spell not have the self awareness to get someone to proof read her work. I never ever spend money on treats like reality celebrity cookbooks...but I might actually get Skinny Italian!

Teresa - love that Gia is such a polite and composed young lady, not to mention beautiful, it's the "inside AND out" that counts - congratulations to you and Joe for being such wonderful parents (not to mention entertaining, too!) - best regards to you all M.

Teresa, your daughters are beautiful, as are Danielle's. All children are beautiful, actually. I'm sure all of you have your good sides, but do you really have to talk so much about your sex life and the sexual parts of others on national television? It's so trashy. Just a little advice for the future: stop it. Thanks.

I think you are my favotite one on this show,dont get me wrong i love the other three as well. Sorry not Danielle,I hope one of you girls not the hell out of her.Other than that you are a great mom and person.

Teresa I think you are an amazing mom, and your family is the high-light of my week. What beautiful girls. I've heard comments that Joe isn't very "into" his daughters. Guess what, my husband worked 18 hours a day so our girls could go to private schools, and be cheerleaders, to to college, etc. That is how alot of men show love. I too took my girls to their little fashion shows, etc etc, and I wasn't pushing them, they wanted to be there. And when they didn't want to do it anymore, we didnt. I think Danielle is looking forward to her daughters paycheck. So...keep making us laugh, we love you.

I absolutely love you!!!! I watch all the Real Housewives Seasons, but your the first lady I've ever been able to watch and feel like your a real person.I'm a stay at home mom with three children and my husband wants more. I see you doing everything yourself and appreciate that you take so much pride in it. Your gorgeous pregnant and absolutely glow when your with your family. My husband is italian and his mother taught me a recipe for sauce as well so watching you get your girls involved was beautiful to watch. I just get so excited by everything ya'll do on the show and can't wait for Monday nights. Your really such an amazing person. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job representing for the REAL housewives everywhere.

Teresa, I couldn't believe Danielle had the balls to talk about Gia - an 8 year old, give me a break!! Gia is absolutely gorgeous and you should be very proud. You can tell you are not the obsesses Mom like she is - thank GOD!!! I love how you tell it like it is and give it right back to her, you go girl!! The day that I would let someone talk about my daughter would be the day................ Just sayin!! lol God Bless your family!!

OH MY GOSH YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! out of ALL the housewives from every show, you are by far my favorite. Gia is adorable and congrats to her, she will go far. She definately gets her cat walk on no question about it. I love the scene where you're explaining to Joe about Fashion Week but he wasn't really listening and you were like wait, stop, that's totally my boyfriend and I! I have that same chopper as well! LOVE IT! Gotta love pampered chef! Anyways, keep it up, you're great! I hope the Danielle drama goes away, can she get kicked off the show yet?

Enough with the obsessing over Danielle! That's all you want to talk about, and yes I do agree she's crazy, BUT you look just as crazy talking about her all the time! And enough with the sex talk!! I don't care what you people call it, how it looks, how it's suppossed to look, how you like it on top, blah blah blah ENOUGH!!!!
