    We usually have fish on Friday but we didn't get out grocery shopping.
    We had been into the city to pick up income tax papers and wanted to get
    home for lunch before shopping. Then it started snowing hard and the
    roads were slippery so we decided we didn't really need to risk icy
    roads so we took a tray of cannoli out of the freezer.

    I don't blame you for staying home! The temperatures here did drop back
    from the mid-70's yesterday to only about 56°F today.

    Cannoli or canneloni? I think of cannoli as a rather sweet filled
    dessert type thing.

    Sorry.. Canneloni. Ricotta filled. They are made by a company in
    Niagara Falls and they are pretty darned good. It is one of the few
    prepared foods that we buy. FWIW there is a significant Italian
    community in Niagara Falls. There are lots of Italian restaurants and
    bakeries.

    We'll be having polish sausage and sauerkraut to which two Fuji apples
    will have been sliced into, sprinkled with celery seed.
    I originally got the idea for apple in this group.

    There is not a significant Italian community in Beaufort, SC.
    Definitely no bakeries, Italian or otherwise.

    We have an Italian bakery, but I'd be thrilled to swap it for
    an Italian deli.

    We have lots of both around here. There aren't any in our town, but
    there are plenty in the nearby cities.

    When I lived in Thorold our house was right next to a small Italian
    grocery store. I went in one day to get the ingredients for lasagna and
    picked up the stuff that was listed in my cookbook's recipe. The
    cashier asked if my wife was making lasagna and I told here no, that I
    was making it. She said I had the wrong stuff and took me around the
    store to replace thing. She got a different brand of pasta, sauce,
    replaced the cottage cheese with ricotta, the block of mozzerella with
    freshly grated, freshly grated Parmesan and pointed to the recipe on the
    pasta box. It was way better than the lasagnas I had made before.

    I was always put off my the stuff hanging above the meat counter. They
    were big chunks of something that appeared to me covered in mold. Some
    foodie friends came to visit one weekend and Jen saw that and was
    thrilled to see it was prosciutto. She bought some and introduced me to prosciutto and melon.

    Sounds lovely! What I'd side it with probably doesn't work for you but
    try this?

    Stem 2-3 asparagus. Roast 1 carrot alongside the fish (cut up). Have
    a dip of 2tsp honey with a small pat of butter and a small dusting of cinniamon. Warm the dip for 30 seconds in the microwave.

    I had steamed asparagus the night before with the pan fried cod fillet.

    Nope, no carrots.
