I didn’t take any good pictures today.
In fact, I just looked and I’m referring to yesterday as TODAY>
I haven’t taken any pictures yet, today.
But I made two batches of biscotti- and they are good- really good!
I used the recipes from Celia, at fig jam and lime cordial– and the results are quite brilliant!
Double chocolate and almond- in the jar.
AND-
cranberry and almond, in the container.
I’m going to add white and dark chocolate layers- but I tried them with coffee this yesterday afternoon and they were perfect plain as well.
so, I’m winding up this day- headed for bed-
Here’s a picture of the Christmas tree in my living room to say-
“Happy Holidays and goodnight!”
Hooray! Thanks for trying the recipe out Heidi, so happy you liked them! My Pete doesn’t think the cranberry and almond ones need chocolate either, but he likes it on the double chocolate ones. 🙂
Beautiful tree!!
Yummy! I haven’t made biscotti in several years. I think I”m going to make cookies this afternoon, though. And I love your tree–both day and night pictures!
I thought for a moment you had two trees…gosh, that’s really getting in to the spirit of things…silly girl. The Monkeys would be standing there marvelling at all that glitters.
Brydie-
Did you notice that the topper for my tree is a monkey head? It is a family tradition-see here- http://heidiannie.livejournal.com/46438.html .
Elizabeth- I spent today making fruitcake!:)
Celia-
So – I should add MORE chocolate to the one that is already so rich and deep? OK- I’m going to do it and blame it on Pete! 🙂
I made Biscotti too. I tried Gingerbread Biscotti from http://www.joyofbaking.com/biscotti/GingerbreadBiscotti.html. I put candied ginger instead of the raisins and used pecans because I had them left from making pie. Next time I see you we can do a biscotti swap!!
I’d love it! It sounds delicious. As you know – I have a weakness for gingerbread- well, actually, ALL things GINGER!
You haven’t got two trees? Sparkle, sparkle!
Lovely biscotti – they’re on the list of the Wishful Baker 😉
Your Biscotti look very tasty. I have them on the agenda for today’s baking. Mine will have hazelnuts in them and one end dipped in milk chocolate for good measure!
Cindy- I took Celia at Pete’s word and coated half of the double chocolate with dark chocolate 85%- And then I added a mint flavor and milk chocolate to the other half. I put a very light layer of white chocolate on the cranberry -almond. Since I’m giving most of these away- I decided that more is better- and these are very more-ish. 🙂
