JohnJ Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So I got introduced to cannolis of a different variety via Sicilian Italians, can't stand the chocolate chips in them. Well they didn't anyhow. We do a little cocoa powder on top followed by the reddi whip! Since Publix came here three years ago I can get them without the choc chips!! Before that nothing, nada. The cream is easy, never tried to make the shells...I'm not a baker and don't wanna be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No vodka snob here.....any of the top five mentioned before is okay. Can't say I would want a Smirnoff pour though. Use an insulated shaker, glass from the freezer, bleu cheese stuffed olive, and Carl's 100 shake formula. Bien! I've read that Sobieski is pretty good. It's really cheap which scares me a bit but I'm willing to take one for the team and try it out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I had several shots of Sobieski last night. It's OK. Try Tito's. The drinks got much better when we moved to Glenlivet, though. SSH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That would be great but my 55 was in June That's a brand partial to your latitude, never seen it down here. Make it with the leftover ricotta from making Lasagna a couple times a year. We get those big packages at BJ's. conf sugar, lemon rind, pinch cinnamon & something else. No whip cream??? Or you're a purist and make your own! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
