Hello again :) sorry for the gap , life distractions and lack of money have kept me away but with an renewed sense of self and more creative ideas I am back to take a crack at this again .
so first off Holy Cannolis Batman !
Items may appear bigger in the picture than they really are :)
This is a cannoli with chocolate chips from
Holy Cannoli Wicked Italian Food Cart
on the corner of SE 52nd and Foster
www.HolyCannoliPDX.com
It runs about $2.50
I ran it by my NYC authority and i was told this isn't the real deal either in size nor ingredents
to which I say - ok forget about it !
I LOVE THESE CANNOLIS AS A DESSERT !
The flavor is stellar - many a person i have given one to have take a moment to close their eyes and savour the goodness of this amazing dessert ( so have I ).
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY IT'S SIZE -
although it looks small this is rich and quickly filling .
The comes in many flavors -
I have tried the orignal with chocolate chips several times
and the cinnamon - both amazing
I have been told I can custom order flavors and that they make a special order birthday cake cannoli :)
I will have to find an excuse to order some soon .
These guys are sweethearts and if i can ever get around to it I will order some food from their full menu . The meatball sandwich is calling me :)
Next up -
SESAME CHICKEN
Sometimes you just get cravings-
For me and most of my friends Chinese food is definitely one of them . It's hard for me to find really good Chinese food in Portland ( unless of course I am in my buddy Roger's kitchen but that is a he's the real deal ) so when i find a dish that it packed full of flavor even we the rest of their menu doesn't get it done ( it ok - some pretty good ) I have to put it out there .
Most sesame chicken i have eaten had no sauce - this is like General Tso's without the heat meets good sesame chicken that had no sauce .
You can find this at -
Wan Lung Chinese Restaurant
12062 Se Sunnyside Road
Clackamas , Oregon ( almost Happy Valley )
Finally - I celebrated the big 40 last weekend ( thnk you I am now officially older )
and what do you get the Food Geek that wants everything and that neither you or he can afford -
BACON - and shockingly my girl got me a 5 lb package :) I was stunned !
( I have never personal owned so much bacon at one time )
complete with a bow :)
to which I had to respond Baby ,
and jokingly I say to you ,
As many of you may know , I try to stay positive here . I do not like to waste my time talking about what I don't like or what I think didn't work - i do not want to be a food critic - I dispise them , they make the world a more evil place with their negativity . Experience life and form your own opinions , don't take my word for it , I am just a guide to try things , live your life your way . I just like to shed light on good stuff but one thing is so vile I have to shed light on it so you don't waste money on a gimmic -
This does not taste like the donut in beer , far from it . This taste like bad bacon dripping and beer . A waste of a pefectly good beer ( I like Rogue beers ) . The funny thing is if you took good maple bacon , cooked it , and mixed the dripping with the beer I would probably like it ( needs tomato juice ) but the was essesence , somethings wrong bacon flavor - it sucked . The sad part is a I inflicted this pain on a friend before i tried it because I believed the hype - PARTY FOUL - violation of personal party rule , always try first before offering to others - citation issued ( Sorry Pat ) .
Now all of that said i may violate a steak and marinate with the rest because I hate to waste , a risk I am willing to take and this cool overpriced bottle will sit above my stove for me and guests to admire for that is one of my favorite doughnuts .
So...thanks for reading , hope to see you again soon .
Don't worry with a new phone in hand more powerful than my laptop and a new resolve , more to come :)
