By request, I’m posting my recipe for biscotti, which is sort of a synthesis of several recipes I had found online, but which I found to be the tastiest combination. Ingredients: 6 Tbsp unsalted butter 3/4 C sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2-1/4 C flour 1-1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1-1/2 tsp…
To help Frumpy Gibbon use her zucchinis, here's the recipe for zucchini bread that I've found to be the best. It's from one of those cookbooks that a church compiles from recipes submitted by its members – I got this one about 20 years ago. This "bread" is really more of a rich sweet cake. [The original…
Minty Chocolate Christmas Cookies Recipe – 101 Cookbooks http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/… This first cookie combines thin chocolate wafers with a thick, creamy peppermint filling.

I'm so excited I'm practically jumping up and down! (OK, maybe I actually did jump a little…) I stopped in to Frankferd Farms Thursday at lunch to see if they had some rye meal (something between flour & cracked). They didn't, but said if I was willing to buy 25 lbs of it they could mill…
Wow, we'd forgotten how good real German pumpernickel was till Nadia sent us a cylindrical package of it from Germany last week! As we were marvelling at the sweet/sour flavor & moistness in so dense a bread (when most of our whole grain breads turn out like hockey pucks if we don't add gluten &…
