That looks good Chef! When I make it I use panko bread crumbs and flour 50-50, my wife likes  italian bread crumbs better.

I didn't see the espresso and limoncello accompanying the zeppole :)

Good job!


Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thanks... Yeah, we don't do coffee/espresso or imbibe spirits.
But back in the day, I'd had a doppio ristretto and several Grappas with a cigar.

John,
Your Culinary Creations are way beyond ordinary.
I don't have the time to go into that detail.
It has been a while, but I nailed down some serious Surf and Turf this evening.
I just grill. ;)
Those King Crab Legs are 3/4lb each.
Life is Good!

* ChileRelleno likey them and the steaks.

Aw schucks man, thanks, but this is all easy ordinary home cooking.
No complex gourmet cuisine going on tonight...  Or any other night.  ;)

That's my paisano Chile Rellenonini... Great work.  Especially the Zeppoli.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I normally don't have any use for boneless chicken breasts except for parmesan and your version looks excellent. Loved that you used the fresh mozzarella
instead of the grated packaged stuff. The sides look awesome also.You are quite a culinary master. It is good to see so many men on this site that cook. I myself find it a relaxing outlet, similar to fishing, instead of a chore. My wife and I split up the cooking about 50/50.
Good stuff.
