My daughter Dyan just got a five month old puppy for Devin today from SPCA.. (is that right?) Anyway, he is going to be quite a big dog.. He is part Greyhound, Shepard and who knows what.. He has the coloring of a brown striped greyhound.. He seems to be doing ok..but he needs to be neutered very soon.. lol

Boy, that recipe has my mouth watering...those meatballs sound just wonderful...I am writing it down now, and going to do this, the next time I make spaghetti and meatballs...I love spaghetti and meatballs and italian sausage...

I also use Ricotta cheese in a pie recipe...I am trying to remember it off the top of my head, but I mix eggs, parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and spinach...mix is all together, and bake in a pie crust, and cover with a pie crust...some people also like to add a bit of meat, usually some sausage, but we like it without the meat...

Its great for a snack, or a side dish, or just sometimes in the morning for a change...

Thats what I really like about Ricotta cheese...it has such a wonderful consistency, and is so bland, that it just takes on the flavors of whatever else is in there...

One of my husbands Italian aunties, used to make her own canollis, which from what I understand is really a pain...she made her canolli shells from scratch, and then filled them with the most wonderfully sweetend and flavored Ricotta cheese, along with I think miniature chocolate chips, and candied cherries...It was heavenly...

Every time I see the movie the Godfather, when Clemenza leaves the house to look for mattresses for the upcoming gangwar hideout thingey, I always remember his wife standing on the front porch, telling Clemenza, not to forget the canollis...and after Clemenza and his driver kill off Paulie, Clemenza tells the guy to leave the gun, take the canollis...

And then after seeing that exchange, I think of my husbands auntie, and her wonderful canollis...

The scanner I have access to is too wimpy for my work. The DPI is too low. (Dots per inch) It wouldn't be able to accurately show my demented scribblings. (I use an HB lead in a mech pencil on paper, very fine point. 0.5 mm lead sharpend to a fine angle tip.) So the Umax scanner would see some of it as a continuous line rather than a coherent scetch. (Already tested it. Results SUCKED!!) So I'd have to actually sell some of my work (First time out there. [Virgin art alert!]) and get myself a better one (1440xsome unholy amount DPI would be good.. photo quality Sony's would be better... but at $9000 a pop..) I know that most of you are out west or sos.. But OniedaM is somewhere near here, if she's interested in art.. and some other FReepers are near here as well.. I just don't remember off-hand who.

[andysandmikesmom]

Thats a wonderful story about Mr. Linklatter...he was such a kind decent man, and really brought a lot of joy, into peoples lives with those interviews with the little children...That must have been something to see the little kids, all grown up...

[Darksheare]

Sketch with a K!! You confounded too fast typing moron! Preview!! PREVIEW!!!! PREEEEEVIEWWWWWWWW! There.. That's better.

[palo verde]

I love your canolli post
I used to live in italian neighborhood in manhattan
so I had canollis all the time
they are delicious

[andysandmikesmom]

I have not had a canolli, since we left Chicago, and left my husbands aunt back there...they sure were a treat tho...she always made plenty when we came to visit...we had some there, and then she always gave us a plateful to take home...

[palo verde]

[grannie9]

Personally, I love anything Greek, Italian, Portuguese?, southern, northern, American,..... Um.. I like food.. ;)

Thats it...when I come a visiting to Palos house, when BigDom retires, I will have to bring Kraft Singles for Lulu, roasty beef for Happy, pocketbooks and teddy bears for Palo, a miners hardhat, with a spotlight on top for Bill, and a box full of yummy canollis for all...

[grannie9]

Well.. I guess I'll carry on to my place of employment.. There's nothing like a good mattress that's connected to a good frame, that's connected to a sturdy bed.. Besides, the air in on up there and I know it's nice and cool.. Just like this room, only I can get horizontal up there..

See youse all tomorrow... chow--da... Sleep tight, and stay loose..

[habs4ever]

I thought you were a waif....that you spat out tender morsels once you had two chews...

[grannie9]

LOL LOL.. I just did the same thing.. Wish I had the wherewithall to fight back.. Guess I do need bed..

Omg, I've lost it at the Aster, again...

[habs4ever]

Did you hear Art's tale of how he first becamse friends with his Bevery Hills neighbours when he moved in?

He kept an elephant in his garage ;-)And Humphrey Bogart and all the kids used to come over to visit the elephant.It was staying there on route to India.God knows why, but Art looked after it for a while, and the stars and their kids loved to feed it, and hence, Art got to meet the neighbourhood ;-)

[andysandmikesmom]

I am in agreement with you grannie...

We are going up to Seattle this weekend(tentative plans), and we hope to get to Pike Market, and sample all the foods up there, from the various vendors...

We will have meat and cheese pies from the Turkish vendor, barbqued pork, and egg rolls, from the Chinese vendor, gyros from the Greek Vendor, stop in a little cafe, and have steamed mussels and clams from the fish guy, grab a slice of pizza from the Italian vendor, then grab a hot sticky Cinammon bun from the bakery, and then EXPLODE...

Then we will go down to the wharf, ride a ferryboat back and forth for a time, while drinking wines and beer...then onto Ivars for a wonderful seafood dinner...

Then they can roll us back to our motel...

[habs4ever]

And ciggys!! Bring them...oh, and some fancy schamntzy sunglasses for the Ava Gardner of Tuscon ;-)
