People who live in biscotti houses shouldn't throw coffee

I hate biscotti. It's hard and goes with coffee, and I don't drink coffee. But we made it anyway.


Since biscotti are pretty much little bricks, we decided to present them as a log cabin. Chef wasn't amussed.


We also made palmiers, a cookie made by buttering puff pastry, pouring sugar on it, folding and repeating.


When baked, the puff pastry puffs and they look like palm leafs.


And this is a breakfast cake called . . . uhhh . . . potica. Had to go all the way out to the car to "remember" that one!


Potica is a dough rolled with walnut filling, then shoved in a bundt pan. You should probably avoid the bulging growth that this one has, though.

But look at that inner beauty!
