Limoncello Got to Danny DiVito

[Paula]

During the summer, I posted a limoncello cream recipe that we got from my cousin Lorena in Italy. Looks like Danny DiVito is a fan on limoncello as well... (from Yahoo news). I'm making my second batch of limoncello cream this weekend, in time for holiday giving:

NEW YORK - An especially colorful appearance on "The View" by Danny DeVito has eyebrows raised and tongues wagging that the veteran actor may not have been himself Wednesday morning.

DeVito said he'd been drinking with George Clooney the night before, and that "it was the last seven Limoncellos that were going to get" him.

Questions really started to come up when DeVito went into a Three Stooges act to describe President Bush. And when Rosie O'Donnell asked if he'd been to sleep yet, she answered for him, "Not really." Then, DeVito said "No."

DeVito's publicist told TMZ.com the actor had asked for Barbara Walters' phone number so he could tell her "what needed to be said privately." Walters produces the television show

I saw part of that and he was definatley slurring and acting goofy, silly.

Ugh, no hangover is good, but I would dread a Limoncello Morning After.
That stuff is meant to be savored, not hammered. ;-)

Paula, I'm making it this weekend.

Me, too, DD. The trick is to get the milk heated just right. I think I posted a method I saw on the Internet in which you get the milk to a boil, then take it off the burner for a little while, then heat it again. I think you're supposed to do this 3 times. That's the method I used and it seemed to thicken the milk. The other thing is to get the right proportion of milk to alcohol. If you put too much milk in, then it freezes when you keep the limoncello cream in the freezer. Frankly, this wasn't a problem for me because it tasted just as good and the texture was just as good even after it froze and defrosted, but technically it's not supposed to freeze.

As DeVito learned, it can be pretty strong stuff made for porch drinking, not for drinking before going on a talk show. It's easy to have too much if you're not careful because it goes down really smooth...
