Cafe Amaretto A manly after dinner drink
This cafe amaretto is similar to an after dinner amaretto coffee. To me, it parts ways and becomes
a more manly after dinner drink. It has an added ingredient, cognac.
Now, the men in our family do drink the amaretto coffee - but this recipe makes it less of a frou-frou frilly drink. This version is just in case you know an insecure man who is afraid to drink the standard amaretto coffee recipe because he just can't seem to get in touch with the sweet side of his taste buds. Cognac is not that big of a deal. You could most likely add any brandy. I got myself a little bit of "edumacation at that them thar likker store yestarday." I asked some young kid that worked there, "What exactly is cognac?" "Cognac" just means it was a brandy distilled in a particular region - which in this case, happens to be - Cognac, France. And yep, he was right. I went I checked out his tid bit of info later when I got home. (Because I never believe an answer if it comes from someone as young as my children!) So "ding ding" score a point for the younger kids! If this isn't the type of amaretto drink you were looking for, scroll below and check out the recipe list Italian drinks I have on my site.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a
little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween. Lisa
