The dogs are freakin' even though they have plenty of other water to drink, they wanna slobber all over the laundry watering hole. oy. Geez, I'm working as fast as I can ya'll.... maybe you could help Nana by not being goobers and making more work for me??? That would be so special :|

Zeppoli cakes
 

Today is the Feast Day of St Joseph....All of the Italians..I am speaking for
my self...buy pastries that are called St Joseph cakes....which in Italian is Zeppoli......these pastries are made with rigotta cheese or vanilla...and they are so dam good! ....I bought the rigotta cake....mmm...they only have these
pastries on March 19th...
so if anyone out there is Italian and remembers St Josephs day...

than go out and get a Zeppol!

Sounds yummy!!! Thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

Here, they think zeppoli (e)

I miss zeppoli. You make them differently in Jersey. Here they are a hallow pastry shell (fried or baked) filled with rum flavored yellow cream, topped with powdered sugar and a cherry.

Of course I say here meaning Rhode Island where I was born and raised. Here on Cape Cod, where I have lived for 30 plus years, there are no Italian bakeries. As a matter of fact, I think I might be the only Italian in a 50 mile radius. :| And here, they think zeppoli(e) is fried bread dough - back home we call those doughboys.

I miss my people and their traditions.

exactly...I forgot to mention they are made hollow stuffed with ricotta and vanilla inside..every place is different what they call it...my grandmother used to make fried dough..she call it Scrupelles...that's the Abruzzi saying for it....

.. ha wow..... yes i seen some today , but umm didnt get any :(
i grew up and live in a big Italian area of Buffalo NY. but no im sorry im not Italian.
half polish and irish ... think I had my day over the weekend. lol

anyways........ hope everyone is having a good day today :)

Here's a bit of what I do when I'm not posting. Have been working on Grace, took it easy today and played with my broken ceramic collection. Us artsy types call it mosaic. This is my second project using mosaic. Not bad huh?

Ya, lookin' for attention again today... :koolaid:

Any one out there do mosaic also? Any tips you have will be gratefully acknowledged.

How's everyone doin'?? Sure quiet in here.

See ya for coffee in the mornin', :tea:

Gidday lofters. :D Your Friday morning, my Friday evening. Have anything exciting planned for the weekend?

I'm supposed to be making apple crumble. Yummmmm. Haven't made it in years so had better get cracking!

I love your project and plans photos Sweet Bliss. Keep them coming.
No more Tarotscopes here and I forget to log in and say hi, sorry. Hello to everyone.
I'm waiting on company and their plans this week. They are from PNW and are really enjoying the warm weather here although I am dreading the increasing heat. We have already had 95 degrees a few days last week. Spring just arrived and summer is shoving her out of the way. Have a safe and Cool week Lofters.

(f)Morning Lofters!!! Thank you Galahad for the kind response.

Please note I have no idea how to do Flickr yet, surprise surprise, lol, but I did upload more pics. I even arranged them a little!

I think keeping track is helping me see where I have issues finishing things. Or overloading myself with projects.

I need to stop creating projects for a while until I catch up... ya think?? lol

Okay, time to see what I can get into next.

Later Gators!! (f)

Wishing everyone a good weekend
 

Heya Everybody!

just wanted to wish everyone a good Weekend...
I 'll be working......while everyone is sleeping...
so..enjoy ...be safe....and have fun!

I turned 40 in January - guess I'm in this crowd now huh...

:jester: yes. try to restrain yourself.... we wouldn't want you to pull a ham string or another important "muscle"... hee hee hee...:rrose: Welcome to the LOFT!!

Drop by for coffee any time... we're glad you joined US!! :rrose:

Do I remember St.Joseph days,my grannie would cook for a week before the day came as well as so many others in our Italian community...so much food,way more than any ohther day.When grannie passed my cousin Josephine took over putting them on,now that she has passed on recently at 100yrs old I have no idea who will do it now.My fave was the hay stacks,then mom would bake italian cookies then I would put the diffreant color iceing on them wich are fantasstic with a good cup of coffee.Oh,and welcome to the list and bringing good memories to mind.

The apple crumble wasn't bad. I just drowned it in plain yoghurt (a bit of sour to go with the sugar) and chocolate ice cream. Nom nom nom.

:rrose: Good morning Lofters!!

I will start coffee as soon as I can get away from the computer screen!!

Welcome again to Galahad and Darth :rrose::rrose:

:playingcat::dog:

Glenn, could you be a dear and let the cats out? Thanks Sugar.

:cheer::happyjump::pointing::walking-poodle:

Hi everyone, hope you've had a fab weekend.

Who's already 50 and what did you do for your birthday? I've got a couple of years to go yet. :)

___steps in quietly....
 

Greetin's Every1.....hope we all had an Awesome weekend...:chocolate:

A fresh new day!!!
 

Thank you Morning Star, glad you like my pics.

Put some more in if anyone is interested.

I'm pooped from planting today. ttyl.

Good Evening Ya'll...........:rrose:

Hey there dude, glad to see you pop in.


Wow, Sweet Bliss, I could have written the same thing. All of my favorite things... Auctions, Waffle House and Lowe's! I am so glad to see another that enjoys the same things! Sounds like a grand weekend.

Well, it has been awhile since I have popped in, I have been very busy renovating my kitchen, I have made a huge mess and am so wanting to get it done! I go to work and come home and work and then go to bed exhausted.

lusciouskiwi, 50 was awhile ago for me.....I don't remember;)

Morningstar, stay safe out there and let me know when you are heading my way again!

Where are the Photos of your kitchen redo???? I wanna see whatcha got so far.... google "boho kitchen", that's what I stare at when I want inspiration, or "boho home", I sit and dream and drool over the fabulous designs and colors. And I also love to drool over the vintage retro look, someone posted a pic of a white "farm sink", I about fainted with joy, it looks just like the one my grandparents had in their kitchen years ago.... didn't know you could get a new one!!

I like the open shelf style in some of those kitchens. It allows a more decorative approach, showcasing antique or collector pieces, or just family heirlooms. And allows more room for your eyes to roam and relax. Feels less formal, relaxed more than boxed up in cabinets. Geez, I could talk about this stuff all day.... can you tell? lol :phonegab:

Okay, next topic, how's everyone doin'?

Got plans for all my goodies, so need to get moving on it before I run out of energy!! :wateringgarden:

well the Bass Pro here is the original founded in 1972 i believe.
it was big , 2 water falls , live turtles to watch in a open pond, fish and more fish.. lol ....
i bought a t shirt with the Springfield Mo on it.. and a lure, almost bought a rod and reel set a nice one too but gosh everything is made in china :(... and ha ...... who knew id find some pride items there....

Oh, how cute!! I love finding little goodies like that.

:rrose:

I remember as a child we had an Italian bakery 'Cafe Puglia' on park hill in Yonkers , ny. They had everything ... it was my favorite place to go when I had money ..lol. I also remember the whole hill was blocked off so the italian feast could begin ... those days were wonderful .... :blueheels:

Afternoon Lofters :balloon::balloon::balloon:

It's warmer today, and so I think I will go work on my steps, have more mosaic pieces to use and so will make good use of the bright yellow!

Auctioneer offered me a box full of old dishes, so Hopefully will get them next weekend to play with. I have a wrought iron patio set I've been itching to do for a year... now is the time!!! Will look awesome in the blue mosaic with white metal. Fresh, springy and so darn cute!!!

Time for a break from the puter. ttyl....:byebye:

(f)Happy Easter Lofters!!

Blessings to all... near and far.(f)(f)(f)
