Diane's right... I should have added Coffee blender and roaster... and (like so many other people) - Barman!

For some reason Fran's "Cannoli filler" made me laugh out load... probably because I'm still a little punchy from the LAX-JFK red-eye which had me surrounded by screaming children and painfully sleepless.

What is a Noli? Does it only come in cans? With what does one fill it?

English translation... "I put the jam in the doughnuts"

... and I forgot for me... Woolworth's counter assistant and part-time sausage-maker for Wall's.

Philip
The subject of CAN rouses a memory… a historical bit.
The first metal can were made by the firm Donkin, Hall and Gambill they had a canning company that was first established in Bermondsey in 1812. One of their first customers were Campbell Soup. No really the British Navy were the first major customer.

LOL! I knew putting cannoli filler in there would get a chuckle, but really no other way to say it Sticking out Tongue

This is a cannoli filled with whipped ricotta cheese mixed with sugar and not sure what else (sounds gross, but it's deliciously sweet...really close to cream cheese). Other fillings are vanilla and chocolate.

Termini Bros. (the name on the wrapper) is the bakery I worked for in high school

Oh. My. Gawd.

That cannoli reminds me of going to Mike's Pastry in Boston's North End on a Sunday morning back in the old days... we lined up to get in.

I love a thread where you can get Cannoli Stuffer & Machinegunner as legitimate answers to the same question.

Seriously, what a diverse bunch of reprobates we are! cool

Ed... Thanks for asking the question.

Without listing all my 'achievements', favorite to date was as a singing Christmas Tree - and parents might like to hear that I may or may not have been for a very short stint, Dorothy the Dinosaur of the Wiggles fame (damn those non-disclosures). Apparently I was too short for Wags the Dog Lips Are Sealed
