Well Beth, you just have to sit with me then! LOL We will all be fighting over you! LOL
Ha! Usually the only reason anyone wants me to sit with them is if there is alcohol involved. They all know I never finish my drinks and then they get a freebie. 
Well, in just a little bit, I am going to attempt to make cannoli, to bring to a friends house tomorrow. We usually do Dutch olliebollen traditionally cuz DH is Dutch, but now it is time to introduce the Italian side.
I love cannoli, but never had the shell tubes to make them. Finally bought some, so I guess I had better give it a try. I don't usually do the deep fry thing, so I had better watch out.
I'm going to use my family's recipe for the filling. Ricotta cheese, cream, pistachios, maraschino cherries, sugar, almond extract and mini chocolate chips. Also calls for citron peel, but I am not into that stuff. Maybe I will do some orange zest. I will report back on my success or failure at some point. LOL!
Happy New Year friends!!!
OOoh, your Dad was a baker? Yumyum! I have made the dough so far. Just about ready to fry them. They had to refrigerate a bit.I'm sure they'll turn out great. I love cannoli. Growing up the kid of a baker has it's perks and fresh cannoli was one of them.
I hope you all are doing well. Today marks the 14th day since I got sick. The way I figure it is I'll be all better by the time Wed rolls around, since it's the day I go back to work.
Happy New Year!

This is one busy day to be there, but how fun!

How can you ask such a question????? Yes yes yes we need a snack bar.
It was fun to have snacks to bring into the parks. Good to have things to eat while on the hunt too.

Sorry you've been sick so long! How frustrating. Noelle has had a cough for about 3 weeks now. We've taken her in twice to the quick care but she's still coughing.I hope you all are doing well.

Thanks for letting me know. I wish I was some where busy and bustling! I've been home all day and feel kind of icky. Not in much of a party mood! In fact, I could fall asleep right now.Beth, I heard back from RoseAnn. She is definitely coming. She is at DL today. Youza!!!
Me, either. And I've never had poutine. Nor will I.BTW - I still have never tried a cannoli
Farley sings, plays fiddle and tells really corny jokes! He noticed our purple DIVA shirts and asked if we knew what the grape said before he died. We said no, and he said, "Didn't say anything, just gave a little wiiiiiiiine."
Have a great time!!!I'm packing my DisDivaland sweatshirts for my trip to WDW!!! So excited to show them off to my friends!!!
This is true!

I've never had a cannoli or poutine, either.
And I'm a pretty adventurous eater!
I am drinking wine and watching the Dick Clark special on TV.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Aw..... How sweet Linda.I'm packing my DisDivaland sweatshirts for my trip to WDW!!! So excited to show them off to my friends!!!
tinkermell said:Yes, this is Melody. Actually posting after midnight. Lol!
Went out for a very nice dinner with my DH and dear friends. Just got home before midnight. Dear husband has an early morning run, so he s already asleep. Snoring to beat the band wagon, is more like it.
So I am on the couch, trying to wind down. No fair... How come he can fall asleep in two seconds, and I,m still awake.
Anybody else have that problem?
So the place I went out to dinner is one of the nicest place in town. Who do I see? The guy who does our tee shirts. Ha ha! He introduced me to his new wife. ( BTW- he reminds me of Alex O'loughlin from Hawaii 5 0.)
Anyways, i'm pretty sure he's telling his wife....she's that crazy Disney lady.
Probably nothing for me. Unless it has eggplant, brussell sprouts, okra or brains. LOL!
Sad, Betty. Very sad.I've never had a cannoli or poutine, either.
