Sorry couldn't resist.

Hello, world, here the song that we're singin'

C'mon get happy!

A whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringin'

We'll make you happy!

Mmmmm, Mike's Pastry in the North End has great cannoli. Better than the ones in Italy IMHO.

Get out of here!

I kid you not! I found Italian desserts in general to be a bit undersweetened and dry for my American palate (gelato excluded of course). I'm sure many would disagree. But in any case, Mike's is damn good! http://www.mikespastry.com/index.html

Jenn- LOVE LOVE LOVE the new avatar, but I never figured out who was in the old one? I kept meaning to ask.

LOL. I only had *one* person ask (hey lal_brandow!). I keep a tally of comments on my avatars . It was Sophia Petrillo from the Golden Girls dressed up as Cheech I think (or maybe Chong).

*waves!*

i have been cooking up a storm lately... with hubby home for a week I have someone to cook for other than myself. today i made a romaine, tuna and rice salad, then i made some meringues... yum. we are trying to do many many more vegetables in our diet and with the help of Stina (suj&stina) I am beginning to get a direction with Indian food (rather than paying 9.00 for puree lentils!!!).

i want to make crepes tomorrow morning,, but dont see how i can really work vegetables into it

I love cannolis.....and all other pastries & sweets.....and all Italian foods for that matter.

You're absolutely correct....I have to book soon because the prices have already gone up but, more importantly, I want to be able to find a return flight for labor day weekend and it seems like everyone & there mother returns from Egypt Labor day weekdend....last summer, even though my ticket had a return flight date of Sept. 3rd, when I went to get a confirmation on the ticket, I was told that the plane was full & they couldn't confirm that I would be let on.....it was ridiculous cuz I needed to get back then, I'm a teacher and had to be back to get my classroom ready before the 1st day of school.....I was panicking that I wouldn't get back to the State's in time for the 1st day of school and my husband was like...."you want to go to your kids and leave me?" I was begining to panic & had scary thoughts of missing the 1st day....last year I took a direct flight with EgyptAir....it had to be a direct flight cuz I was freaking out that a suitcase would get lost in a layover flight....had a nightmare that the suitcase was the one with my wedding dress!!

Shilo, when I was young

I used to call your name

When no one else would come

Shile, you always came

And we’d play

m&n - I'd book sooner rather than later. I booked mine a couple of months ago and it was $1,100 then. Now the price for the same flight is up around $1,600. it's not direct though, it has a 3 hour layover in Milan. Can you say cannoli????? LOVE them!

One summer I drove over half of sicily because I had to have a real cannolo. Finally we found one pastry shop that had them. Seems they are all but impossible to find in the summer because of the heat.

re: Mike's Pastry. I've got to get to Boston! I do know this place in Baltimore's little Italy that will ship cannoli. The send empty shells and a tub of filling so they do not get soggy. http://www.vaccarospastry.com/history.jsp

ETA: Just notice so does Mike's!

I would have apologized for the bus, but now you've got me singing the theme song to the Monkees! I guess fair is fair

Now the song’s and nostalgia are getting bad … need medicine … lots and lots …. of strong medicine …

Sugar, ah honey honey ....

Was it Post’s Honeycombs had this record on the back of the cereal box? All you had to do was cut it out of the box, and play on the record player?

Must admit, found lots of old stuff while cleaning early last month. Lets see … Gumby & Pokey, a Ford Pinto marketing trinket that doubles as a spark plug/ points gap tool, portable AM transistor radio (my first), a few cereal promo items, and more … ouch, I feel so old now.
