OMG andme, you owe me a new keyboard and another glass of wine. A cannoli machine huh? Well, I swore off kitchen gadgets with just one use the last time we moved - not that I would be buying a cannoli maker anyway. Funny that Kathy finally got something off the ground but apparently not in time to pimp it all season. Dumbass. Shopper, I've been around TWoP long enough to know there are all kinds of programs to watch for the snark value alone - shows you would not watch without TWoP. I get it. I do the same thing with The View. |

What does she need a cannoli maker for? She can just bend the shells around Richie's morning wood. Why waste it? |

Gross. but hilarious. I feel like the only ppl who would buy cannoli machines are those who make cannolis every freaking week or something. But what do i know; I want to buy so much crap i see on infomercials. But then again, I would never buy a cannoli maker. |

I guess that answers all our questions as to whether Kim G was in on it! As if! ;) Maybe they should have asked her why she did a talking head about not being invited to fabellini opening when it happened after the posche fashion show and the reunion. I guess Bravo didn't set that up either.

It's not a Cannoli machine that Kathy is marketing - it's a kit. I assume it comes with the shells pre-made and the dry ingredients to make the filling - you add ricotta/mascarpone (or whatever cheese it calls for). How in god's name would one even MAKE a cannoli machine? |

I'm not sure we've noted the absurdity of this before, but does anyone find it, oh, I don't know, odd and pathetic, that Kim G has a condo with a balcony over the Brownstone parking lot???????? |

A mixer to mix all the ingredientses and a waffle iron to make the pretty pattern? I wonder how the kit will sell. |

You make the dough and roll it out, cut it in squares and lay a hollow tube on the square, corner to opposite corner seal the points and fry. Or put the dough in a pizzelle maker and when done roll it around a wooden spoon handle. Time consuming. Easier to buy the shells unfilled from a local italian bakery or the imported ones from an italian deli. The filling is really easy. You don't even need a pastry bag to fill them, just a long handle spoon (like an ice tea spoon). |

No, I know how cannoli shells are made I'm saying how does one go about manufacturing a MACHINE that would do the work for you? |

And if you created a machine to do it ... how many cannoli does a homecook expect to make that would make the purchase of such a machine cost efffective? I'm betting its a kit that contains either the hollow tubes or a pizzelle type machine and a piping bag to fill the shells, or the actual pre made shells. As far as ingredients for the filling, outside of choco chips, jimmies, nuts of some type and or candied fruits, there's not much to the filling. Ricotta, marscapone, maybe some confectioners sugar, vanilla? The premade shells can be a disaster if they arrive broken. Not a good idea for first time product. I might have gone for a kit with the mini shot glasses, small spoons, a serving stand, flavored mixes for various mousses, piping bags for layering maybe a small recipe book.

Ish too bad she doesn't have you giving her marketing ideas. I would have bought the little shot glass kit. |

Melissa's blog is up. Most comments are against her, but this is my favorite: swiss_miss49 pts It looks like anybody can get on a housewives show these days. I remember when the real housewives used to be about rich women in gated communities living luxurious lives. Now we have reformed strippers that are brought on the show to "take down" their family members so they can get a singing gig at 6 Flags. I think we have hit rock bottom folks! |

Lol Velvet. I think the "rich women behind the gated communities" ship sailed years ago. Momo, thanks for the clarification/correction about Kathy's Crap. It does seem risky to mail order cannoli shells - too easy to break. But as to who would buy it you'd be amazed. I saw a commercial for a Kraft product that is basically a small packagel of breadcrumbs and grated cheese - you add the chicken breast and bake. It's sold as a "kit". |

Cosmo - I saw those at the store a couple week ago and looked at the price then said "I can do this at home for FAAAAAAR cheaper." |
