{Baking} CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI … the fuss about Valrhona
“There’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE!” Linda Grayson, “The Pickwick Papers” Sometimes life springs wonderful surprises, and I sit back reminiscing about how far I’ve come in the past couple of years, and more often than never, the connections boil down to twitter. I have met so many great folk here, all like minded, food at the centre of our universe, and vibes that make everyday HAPPY! Amazing!! One such tweep is the fun and very talented girl Shayma who blogs at The Spice Spoon. Have you met her? She writes evocatively, a food blog with plenty of connect, inspired by her heritage.…

Double Chocolate Espresso Biscotti … Eating Your Words!
“Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven.” Jessi Lane Adams Some time back I received a beautiful parcel from Asha, or the FSK gal as I call her, a NYC blogger who blogs at Fork-Spoon-Knife. There was so much excitement in my little boys’ life when the parcel arrived. He was besides himself with joy to see the contents. Some fab fresh ground coffee beans from Picollo Cafe, and a charming bottle of aged balsamic vinegar! A huge chunk of time went in the boy trying to sniff out coffee flavours, and every so often he would look at the coffee and ask me when I’d make something with it? The…

Junior goes to a new grade in another week, so half the days were scheduled with PTA’s, orientations, new books & uniforms etc. The past week has been even more hectic with the kids at home (Spring Break), & I’ve had little or no time to blog hop. One blog that I often attempt to stop at is Heidi @ 101 Cookbooks because it’s always got some…

BOOSCOTTI….BISCOTTI FOR HALLOWEEN!
“Eat, drink and be scary” Author Unknown or Delicious every ‘witch’ way!! Biscotti is on my list of things to try often & it’s something I achieve regularly. The more variety, the merrier. Browsing TWD blogs last week landed me at Gretchen’s blog @ Canela & Camino, where she was playing host to the weeks’ Tuesdays With Dorie. I have now decided to blog hop & try recipes at my own pace rather than join up with more groups because it stresses me out. I find deadlines taking a bit of the fun away sometimes, in addition to the sugar overdose the family is getting. Also, sonny boy has got…

2 TONED BISCOTTI…COFFEE & CHOCOLATE!
“Yield to temptation…it may not pass your way again” Lazarus Long On the 5th of September every year, schools across India celebrate this day as Teachers Day. Every attempt is made to make teachers feel special, & the kids make cards etc for them. Both mine always take some cookies for their class teacher, & a few others. The daughter voluntarily makes about a dozen cards, while the son struggles to make 1! She is like a card factory in herself, & in the span of an hour turns out about a dozen well made, similar looking cards, with intricate art-work; the writing looks like it’s been printed. Trying to…
