TWD~Lenox Almond Biscotti

By -

Oh Biscotti you are so very Naughty.
Today for Tuesday's with Dorie, I was to make Lenox Almond Biscotti.
I followed the recipe to a the "t" and so far so good. The biscotti were easy to make, smelled wonderful and I even got to use my jar of cornmeal that had been sitting, sulking on the shelf since 1985. I think these would go great with some coffee. But as a lot of you know, I can't drink coffee or hair sprouts from my chest and I howl at the moon. Maybe if I'm feeling spunky tomorrow morning i will stop in at Starbucks and get a DECAF (oh i am so my mother right now) and then drink that with my naughty biscotti. ciao

Were these biscotti crunchy/hard? Are all biscotti supposed to be that way? I bought one once (in a rash display of cosmopolitan living) that I thought would be like a cookie that I could dunk in my iced caramel macchiato, but it was not.

Am I being retarded in my knowledge of Italian biscuits?

H- They are crunchy hard. They are baked twice. The first time they are soft, the second is to harden them up so they are nice and rock hard crunchy. I kinda like them better soft. But im weird like that.

joolee is so silly.

Um, I don't like the crunchy hard of the biscotti. Maybe I'm weird?

Nextly, guess what?
Katie and I were discussing your Halloween party. We are coming together as the PERFECT combination. Every mother should really be these two things....
Oh, how I leave you in suspense.

Your biscotti look delicious. Nothing beats a full-strength coffee, though. :P

Now I feel vindicated (and not abnormal) as a lover of soft biscotti.

I sort of cut mine on an angle. Probably wasn't supposed to - just did for some reason. Yes, mine were long and lean, just like me!

That is too weird about that Carrie U. song - before I knew what she was saying *I* was singing Legacy! It DOES sound like that, doesn't it? :)

Sabrina's biscotti was the perfect blend of crunchy and soft. Heather, I too agree that super crunchy break your teeth out hard biscotti is over rated. (should there be a comma in there somewhere) Can't wait for your next treat Sabs.

I just ate mine plain, no coffee or tea involved! These were crunchy but not rock hard. I'm thinking about trying a once-baked version sometime -- chill the dough, roll it into logs, slice-and-bake. Might be good.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
