biscotti day

[threeplusfire]

I spent most of my day baking biscotti for the first time ever. They are all butterscotch pecan, but I doused half the batch with chocolate. (See them here) The recipe from King Arthur flour works very well and is pretty easy for such an involved cookie. It also looks easy to modify. I want to do some pistachio ones now, as well as a chocolate chip.

Right as I began, I endured a horrible paper cut. Actually a foil cut, since I cut myself on a sheet of foil. Brutal. Of course it is right on the crease of my index finger which makes it extra painful. My hands are dry from all the antibacterial soap I kept using since a bandaid won't stay in that spot.

All the biscotti are for Mike's presentation at work tomorrow. Food makes a presentation/work meeting 100% better right from the start. Especially delicious homemade fancy cookies.

I'm really craving a chocolate orange right now. I want to whack it on the table and break out the slices. Maybe I'll make some chocolate orange biscotti.

Currently reading Glen Cok's Black Company series. I may like this more than the Dread Empire series. Awesome stuff. Just amazing.

I don't think it is any harder than most other soups, except for the roasting/cutting of the beets because that is messy. Let me see what recipes I have.
