Heaven is located, believe it or not, in Worcester, Massachusetts, at a small eatery aptly named Wholly Cannoli.
Today, I went on a quest to pick up a John Deere cart for Kevin's tractor since the big concrete pour party is coming up this Saturday. I took the trip with my mother's new beau, a very sweet Italian man who describes himself as looking like he belongs on a pizza box. We needed use of his truck, since I'm pretty sure any John Deere attachments would not fit in my car.
Afterwards, we went to Wholly Cannoli (more like Holy Cannoli, but I think that might be ripping off an old Ben & Jerry's flavor). I had an AMAZING Italian sandwich on toasted foccacia bread. You could taste a hint of olive oil mixed with rosemary and inside was an indescribably wonderful stacking of Italian meats and cheese with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato. On display at this establishment, is a stunning tribute to dessert. Not just cannoli, but lobster tails, whoopie pies, tiramisu, the list is endless. When I'm pregnant, I'm going there and trying one of everything. When the time comes, let me know if you would like to join! It's worth the road trip- trust me!
In my fridge right now, is dessert - a cookies & cream cannoli and a peanut butter cannoli. The plan is to go halvsies with Kevin so I can sample both and my mouth is literally salivating right now at the thought of it.
PS- Thanks very much to my pal Helen who's wedding gift arrived yesterday - Food Network Magazine Cookbook and cookbook holder. I just finished concocting a masterpiece from it (Chicken with Apple, Onion and Cider Sauce) and was so excited not to have to worry about holding the page down to follow the recipe!
Sounds AMAZING!!! =O
