Sorry, bloggers. I've been wretchedly out-of-touch. When a gourmet chef, such as myself, gets into one of those zones (you know what i mean- then again, maybe you dont), it's hard for us to concentrate on much else. Suffice to say, I have been making plenty of biscotti, possibly my favorite of which was the cranberry/almond 1/2 whole wheat batch I made yesterday. Today Happy and myself produced delicious double-chocolate chip cookies. Although she might have a significant lack of experience, comparitively (but let's be fair-look who she's up against!), she made an expemplary cooking partner. Her wide smiles and charming wit matched with my staggering talent are explosively succesful in the fieldof gourmet cooking.
