sunrise this morning . .
stollen and tea today for breakfast . .
and before running off to work (and doing her laundry) chanda helped with making biscotti.
cricket was able to stay in the kitchen and help also as there wasn't any butter or cream in the cookies, just eggs . . and he wasn't interested in eggs.
it's late. i'm very tired. i just got off the phone with korrina. she was home . . and i called to see if she had any biscotti baking tips for me as i overcooked my biscotti because i thought the inner part wasn't well done enough. they are too hard right now, though still very tasty! this has happened often. i remember my mom biting into a biscotti one year and saying, i'm going to break my teeth on these! every time she said that, i would say, dunk it! (in her tea or coffee). korrina remembers this also. i think i put in too many chopped almonds and hazelnuts. it made the dough too dense. they were perfect last year! i hope we eat all of these so i can try making another batch.
i did many many other things, but there's still much to do.
good night!
