Day 23: Just because

Today I made my favorite Christmas treat, Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti. Since biscotti are twice baked cookies (as in you bake them, let them cool and bake them again), I only make these puppies one time a year and one time only. And today was the day. I cannot wait to wake up tomorrow and brew a cup of coffee and devour one or two or hell, maybe five of these.




They are super crispy, which is why you have to dunk them in coffee (or tea or cocoa if you are a coffee hater, which, if that is the case, I am not sure why we are friends) and enjoy.



In case you wanted a preview of my Christmas, loving hubs and I are boarding my furbabies tomorrow and heading to a teeny, tiny town in Oklahoma for a quiet and relaxing Christmas with his side of the family. I am bummed we won't have any snow this year, as last year was full of sledding and a lot of fun. But I am looking forward to powering down my blackberry (shocking! I know!) and catching up on some sleep and spending time with my loving husband.



I'll be baking my final cookie tomorrow morning...another annual tradition here in the old Lisa/Loving Hubs household. The end is near....
