Nobody want to have their tools appropriated or misused.

Wasn't it you who gave me the useful look-up tip TL?
Works a treat! (But not with Ladylocks apparently!)

It is considered a cookie. You make dough and wrap it around a spindle, bake, and slide off the spindle to cool. Once cool, you mix a creamy filling and shoot it into the cookie. Hopefully the picture I attached will show it.
Looks delicious, but I don't understand the name?
They look like something we would call a "cream horn". Are they cone-shaped?

Hey, these things are only simple when you know them! (And yes, that was what I meant!

You need a better hiding place
I had to hide my funnels from DH because he was taking them for outdoor use.

They are called different names in different parts of the country, and obviously in other countries. The reason they are called Ladylocks around here is because when you wrap the dough around the spindle it resembles those long curls that were a popular hairdo at one time. Some people call them Ladyfingers because they are about the size of a little finger. Some people make them cone-shaped, but mine are straight. You can buy the metal forms to wrap them on, but it's very popular to wrap them around clothespins. Some might be too young to remember clothespins. LOL They were used when people used to hang their laundry outside to dry. You don't use the ones with the spring in them, but the straight ones. You wrap aluminum foil around them, then wrap the dough around them. There are a variety of fillings you can use in them. One time my husband made some big spindles for me to use from old broom handles. I wrapped aluminum foil around them the same as I do with the clothespins. They turned out really big, like some you see in a bakery. They are very time consuming to make.
They look to me like a lady's old fashioned ringlets.

And they look to me like Italian Canollis
I want to make Canollis some day, too. My husband wants them because the old man always talks about them on Everybody Loves Raymond reruns.

I am looking for 10 cents worth of energy. Anybody got any? It is windy out and the temp is only 40ºF.
Tomorrow at supper time some people are coming to serve us a buffet and try to convince us, we should vote "Yes" for a casino just down the street from me. This is the third presentation. They better have more than just coffee and doughnuts for us. If it goes through, we are looking at the next five years of more construction. We have just recovered from the Big Dig. I doubt I will even be around by the time it is built and up and running. It was supposed to be run by the folks who run by Caeser's Palace in Las Vegas. But there seems to be some problem with a shady past with a couple of the owners. So now they have some plan to get a new company to run and finance it. My daughter is dead set against it. She is afraid of property values going down and the traffic. She is even closer to the site than I am. I am concerned with jobs for the locals as are most of the folks in the building. They don't have any property to be concerned with. I am going only for the food. We get to vote on it next Tuesday.

What? a casino owner with a shady past? How novel!! The casino will definately hurt the property owners in the area. I have no room to talk against them because I frequent the casinos quite often, but they seem to target the senior citizens who don't have much income to begin with. I guess it gives the seniors something to do for entertainment. The casino we go to is in an old town in a run-down neighborhood, which might not have been run-down before the casino came. But I agree with you....go for the food! LOL

Been dealing with stiff neck and shoulder pain for a while now. Last week started to get numbness in my thumb and forearm, so much for ignoring something and having it go away!
Upside, my boss came into work today (I was supposed to be working alone this morning), I call my Doctor's office and they had a cancellation and asked if I could be there in 20 minutes, and since my boss was there, I could. I got into the doctor's office and got to see the doctor promptly! He feels that it is a pinched nerve in my neck. He sent me up the street to the hospital for x-rays and I was in and out of there in 20 minutes. So inside of 2 hours I was able to see the doctor, get x-rays, and grab lunch before going back to work!
Now I have to do some physical therapy because of my limited range of motion with my neck.
I'm not used to having issues, the last time I had to see the doctor for anything other than a physical or blood tests was about 25 years ago, I had a small tumor removed from my toe, LOL.
Almost 40 and I'm starting to fall apart!

Did you start noticing this severe pain in the neck towards the end of August?
Just kidding, hope you feel better.
