Cannolis are a great Italian dessert and they were said to have been developed by Sicilians in Palermo, Italy. These fried wafers are filled with a mixture of ricotta, candied fruit, chocolate, and other ingredients, and they are very, very tasty! Sicilians are supposed to have created this great dessert recipe, and I think that they are just delicious. I hope that this recipe is fairly easy to follow. You will need some type of dowel or metal tube that you will use to form out your cannoli shells. If you have a 3 ½ inch in diameter ring or even a 3 inch ring, you will need this to form the shape of your shells, also. You will also need a deep fryer, or a pan that is deep enough for these shells to float in oil.

Last week after reading several articles about the devastating effect of supermarkets on local communities and the environment, I decided to experiment with only using local shops. I often use the big supermarkets, usually because of the availability of cheep organic staples such as rice, pasta, and tea and coffee, and then I use local fruit and veg shops, farmers markets and my box-scheme. This week I used the local shops, and my local organic supermarket.

I am one man who loves to eat. Ask any of my friends. At my first business trip to Nashville with a partner at my law firm, the partner came back and all he can say was “she ate a whole rack of rib by herself.” When I go out with my friends, I always get this “my gosh” look that I would finish everything that order. Usually, I can eat my plate and help me friends with their plate as well. Anyway, I have proven my point that I can eat.
