Thank you SO MUCH for this absolutely wonderful blog...one I read (check) daily. I just said to my husband that we have to plan ahead for our Christmas breakfast since we have several overnight guests and I HATE being in the kitchen cooking when I just want to relax on the couch with a cup of coffee and watch the glow :) AND I love love love your vanilla biscotti recipe so very much that I am giving all the relatives batches of biscotti for Christmas. I had never made biscotti before you posted an article last Christmas and I was inspired. It was incredibly delicious and way easier than I imagined. I also made some different combo's...dried cherry and pistachio, walnut and maple, chocolate and cranberry, pine nut and almond. Yum. Thank you..and Merry Christmas to all the folks at KA and all the bloggers especially! And Merry Christmas to you, Annie - glad you're a biscotti convert. It's my goal to get as many bakers as possible to make biscotti - just so they can discover how simple (and delicious) they relaly are. Guess what I made today? Vanilla biscotti; and cranberry-pistachio biscotti. 'Tis the season... PJH
