Sista Felicia Pinulata Recipe At The Gloucester Times Taste of The Times
As always you can click at along the top bar of GMG where it says “Sista Felicia Recipes” and access them at your leisure. They are all right there with a simple search.
From The Times Taste of The Times website-
If you grew up in a Sicilian or Italian household or ever went to one at this time of year you may remember these treats. These are an Italian holiday treat that you can make ahead and leave in serving dishes around your house. The way that Felicia (Ciaramitaro) Mohan makes them, based on her Grandmother Felicia’s recipe, are little bites of fried dough slathered in a honey/Kayo syrup mixture and topped with bits of chocolate, toasted nuts and fresh cinnamon.
Sista Felicia’s Roasted Chestnuts Video On The Taste of The Times
We called roasted chestnuts “castangees” and used to warn everyone not to eat too many because they would make you get the big time farts.

Celebrate The Holidays Like The Ciaramitaros- Sista Felicia’s New Video- Uncle Charlie’s Top Necks FIVE STAR MUST MAKE ALL TIME GREATEST FOOD OF ALL TIME
At the Gloucester Daily Times Taste of The Times They Are Featuring Felicia’s Video Recipes Of Our Uncle Charlie’s Baked Stuffed Topnecks. This was our Uncle Charlie’s recipe and is hands down absolutely my number one of all times favorite things to eat.
Read that again- MY NUMBER ONE ALL TIME FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT.
If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one.
Follow her instructions precisely. Do not try to get creative. Do not get a different type of clam, the size matters. Order them at Intershell for your holiday.
You’ve seen all the pictures I’ve taken of all the great things I like to eat, right?
Let me say it one more time for emphasis-
If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one. MAKE IT FOR YOUR FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS AND YOU WILL BE A SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!
Frankly I’m surprised she’s sharing this with the world. It deserves to be locked up in a high security vault.
From the Gloucester Daily Times-
To Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan this recipe is very special. Her uncle Charlie began making this recipe for her family many years ago. It’s become a family tradition. Unfortunately Uncle Charlie passed away and will be sorely missed by everyone this Christmas and so this year this tradition has even more meaning to her family. “I know every family member will think of Uncle Charlie while enjoying every last clam.”

We’ve been eating these every Christmas since I can remember and every Christmas it is the first thing we eat. people that show up late miss out and the rhetoric is always the same-
All the men who know will say to the newcomers-
“You may not want to try these, they taste funny” It’s a ploy to try to throw them off so there will be more for me. Of course they catch on by the time we are all pounding down our 10th or 11th baked stuffed topneck.

Sista Felicia’s Sugar Cranberries Recipe on The Gloucester Times Taste of The Times
To Felicia Mohan these sugared cranberries are something that she places along with nuts all around her holiday house. She says that they are “Where sweet meets tart, and a family favorite.”
The first thing you have to do is sort a bag of cranberries by removing any that are bruised or overripe, setting aside. Heat 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar to make a simple syrup. Place the cranberries in the heated syrup and place in the refrigerator overnight. The cranberries are going to become slightly soft and some may even split open.
The next day strain your cranberries and place them in a pie dish filled with superfine sugar and roll around until well covered. Remove them carefully with a wire mesh ladle so that you do not disturb them very much. The less you touch them the better they will look.

If you want to get a real feel for the people of this town just belly on up to the breakfast counter and let the master of ceremonies Rusty entertain you while Heidi works her magic at the helm of the kitchen.
Soooo good!

How to Make Alcoholic Ice Cream, the Greatest Dessert of All Time
From Gizmodo-
You love booze. You love ice cream. Unfortunately, if you cram ice cream full of alcohol, it won’t freeze. If only there were a way… THERE IS! Meet the ladies who cracked the code.
It’s Friday afternoon, you’ve made it through the long week, and it’s time for Happy Hour, Gizmodo’s weekly booze column. A cocktail shaker full of innovation, science, and alcohol. Boo yah, let’s get drunk.
Alcohol flavored ice creams are abundant: Bailey’s, Guinness, Jack Daniels, Rum Raisin—they’re everywhere. But none of them have any kick. Why? Because alcohol’s freezing point is waaaaay lower than water’s, which means that it’s damn near impossible to get boozy ice cream to retain that lovely, semi-solid form we so adore. So there’s no booze in them, which is STUPID.
Thank god for Valerie Lum and Jenise Addison, who figured out how to stabilize the alcohol using gelatin (look away, vegetarians). After countless nights of trial and error these two awesome women who should win Nobel Prizes have come up with a system that will allow you to incorporate a cup of 80 proof booze into a quart of ice cream. That nets ice cream that’s approximately 13-percent alcohol by volume. Not bad! The duo came up with 50 recipes for boozy ice creams and sorbets in their book Ice Cream Happy Hour. We quite enjoyed making the frozen White Russian in the video above; here’s what you’ll need to make it at home:

first year at Burnham’s Field – it was a smashing success that we will
continue to build on in 2012. Special shout out to John McElhenny for

without your dedication and leadership!
Cheers ~
