PJ--yes, I noticed you had credited the recipe--otherwise I might not even have noticed how similar it was. The reason I said "that this appears to be based on" is that there's at least one other coffee one in there. I love Vienna Fingers! And chocolate covered espresso beans would really kick the espresso bean version up a notch. I like the way you think! I was planning to order David Lebovitz's book soon, but you're giving me way too many ideas already. I applaud your restraint in eating only one bite. With a job like yours, that is a virtue that must serve you well! It's certainly easy to go flying off into the icy stratosphere here, isn't it? I think I'd better stay away from the ice cream maker for awhile - it just makes it too darned easy to indulge! Trust me, it's a daily (hourly) battle not to eat an entire cookie, brownie, piece of cake, etc. - they're here, fresh out of the oven and under our noses, all the time. But this is a job I wouldn't trade for anything in the world - aside from my lifelong dream of competing in the Olympics, which I'd assume, at this point in my life, will remain a lifelong dream... :) Thanks for connecting, Donna.
