With all my holiday baking this week I find myself right down to the wire for my TWD post (not that a last minute post is so terribly unusual for me, but I’m taking a break from baking for a few moments to get this posted before midnight). This week Macduff of The Lonely Sidecar selected Cafe Volcano Cookies (page 153). Without further ado, let’s get to the good stuff…
It’s that time again; Tuesday is here along with another installment of Tuesday’s with Dorie. This may be my last TWD post for the next two to three weeks; starting on Friday all of my baking motivation and drive will be focused on making my wedding cake as perfect as my mother and I are capable of making it. Not to mention worrying about all of the million and one last minute details associated with planning a wedding and getting married even when you’re not crazy enough to be making your own cake.
This week’s recipe, Lenox Almond Biscotti, was selected by Gretchen of Canela & Comino. To be honest, I very nearly decided to begin my TWD hiatus early rather than do this recipe. I am very busy with the wedding and I had never met a biscotti that I liked so I was having difficulty mustering the proper enthusiasm for this recipe. But, I decided that this would give my mother and I a chance to bake something together before the wedding that didn’t come with the heavy dose of pressure that the wedding cake does.
Both mom and I are glad that we took the time to make this biscotti – I can now say I have met a biscotti that I truly enjoy!
