For holiday snackin goodies I made two kinds of biscotti: vanilla with pistachios and dried cherries and chocolate with hazelnuts and candied ginger. And both kinds dipped in white chocolate.

Oh, I love biscotti. Collette sent me delicious biscotti of her own creation, with candied ginger, pecans, chocolate, and a bit of clementine zest. Mouthwatering. She also sent tins of:

• Ballina's Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
• Pfeffernüsse
• Bittersweet Peppermint Bark Brownies
• Cashew brittle
• Pralines (for my grandmother)

If there are, we don't want to know them.

They are clearly lacking any semblance of a soul.

*shuns them*

Your goodies are simply too beautiful not to share.

Thank you so much, my love. Every single bite will be treasured.

Most excellent goodies. One of these days, I'll get a camera that works, and I can show you the cookies cheesysussie sent me. They are as tasty as Collete's goodies look.

Thank you and welcome to Lit!

There are actually a number cyclists here. Road and mountain.

If possible, I'd share a couple of big ole brownies and milk with you right now. I have you to thank for the idea, anyway. I made your peppermint bark and loved it, then tried to think of a way to use it so that it would keep well to ship out West.

Thanks, sweetie! To repeat what Batchie said earlier...

Good food, good friends, good sex = life.

I'd love to see (and taste) them!

It's funny. I've been cooking feasts for loved ones for years, but I've never done the "goodies as gift" before, as I've never been much of a baker. This year, thanks to Collette's wonderfully easy brittle recipe, I am giving out several tins of pine nut brittle as gifts.

That is definitely the main reason I love this thread: the wonderful people it attracts.

Happy Holidays, my friends.
