Wendi,
I just had my first cannoli a couple of days and it was great! I can attest that the shell was the best part. Like my life, I am always trying to empty my “cannoli,” but most times I get side tracked by all of the gunk that I uncomfortably push through the tube. I also realize that the best “cannoli’s” are not just thrown together — they are carefully made with love and tenderness. Overall, great post.

Melissa,

You were close, Mostacolli is the baked noodle version that is shaped just like a cannoli tube.

Now I want that for dinner. Soon. Very soon.

See this is the problem with the links. No one sees them..I need to figure out how to highlight them better. There is a very good recipe right in the post and its being missed.

Give me a clue–experienced posters….help?

Okay, I confess. I don’t really get it. Wait – maybe I do. Is this about clearing your mind and spirit of all the debris and filling it with goodies? Honestly, I thought a cannoli was a noodle that gets stuffed with sauce and stuff. I had no idea it was a dessert. And now that I’ve just publicly admitted that fact, I’m going to go eat some Oreos.

Hey there! I came over here ready to poke fun about Pastry Posts (really am looking forward to the Pie Theory), and WHAM! What a brain-shifting post.

I’ve had a tough week, full of decision-making that I’d rather avoid. Having read about how you empty yourself, making way for grace and all it wants to bring with it, I see that I’ve been coming to my work (and these decisions) with buckets of expectations. Unfair ones, unreasonable ones, unrealistic ones. A wicked habit that I didn’t have a name for…

But it has a name now: Cannoli Crisis Being so full of expectation and frustration that there’s no room for grace.

Many thanks…

What a really great metaphor! I know where you’re coming from, when you are thankful for your life and can’t ask for more you find that you have more to give others.

I think it was the Orielles who sang “kneel and pray” (one of the origional doo wop groups)
“When you’ve got all you folks around you and the strength to go on another day
When no worries and cares have found you, thats the time to kneel and pray”
