Tuesdays with Dorie Post Number 17: Lenox Almond Biscotti
Greetings all, Juniper here. This week's Tuesday with Dorie will not feature a lovable plastic character, but instead will be narrated by none other then the sweetest small white cat ever. I have been falsely portrayed on other occasions, but I'm here to tell you that I am not a hindrance to Rigby's activities. This week I stayed under the kitchen table in order to observe the process that went into making Lenox Almond Biscotti, a recipe chosen by Gretchen of Canela and Comino.
C3PO tried to take notes on the biscotti making, but I eat guys like him for lunch.
Anyway, the view from under the table was interesting. First, Rigby measured out all of her ingredients. I kept hoping that she would spill something so I could help clean it up, but nothing ended up where it didn't belong. The mixer was put to work, and I could hear the sounds of cookie dough coming together. Rigby then plopped dough onto baking sheets. She pulled out a ruler and kept measuring something. Evidently this didn't work out the way she thought because when she pulled the baking sheet out of the oven later, she looked a little surprised by what she saw. I kept hoping she might let me see....but, no.
I fell asleep for awhile, so I missed what was going on in the kitchen, but when I opened my eyes Rigby was putting slices of Biscotti on the cooling rack. She put on a pot of coffee and sampled the cookies. I came out from under the table hoping to get a taste, but I was steered back to the cat food. Next week Rigby is going to make Pumpkin Muffins and I am determined to taste them!

i always love the way you add characters to your post - they make me smile. poor juniper, no spilled ingredients. :)
Very funny post! Your biscotti looks really delicious!
I'm glad to see the little toy story alien made it to this week's posting. I'm "eternally grateful" as he would say. These look wonderful, far better than catfood for sure.
I always love your posts I look forward to the read and always have a smile afterwards. Your biscotti looks great!
I think if you cat wanted to have something fall on the floor, it should come visit when I'm baking - things go everywhere! Your biscotti turned out perfectly.
"I kept hoping that she would spill something so I could help clean it up, but nothing ended up where it didn't belong."

Aww, cute post! Sounds like the biscotti were a hit (if a bit of an adventure to bake.)
