Pull up a Chair and TALK…
Biscotti? Coffee anyone?
WELCOME.
I just feel like saying that. I am so excited to show you the face lift on my humble little blog. Truth be told, my site has been under construction—or renovation—for almost six weeks. Much of the time it has been in tandem, my old site receiving less and less attention, my new site getting more and more.
It is still me. Janelle. Talker of Tomatoes, Rambler of Radishes, Chatterer of Chipotle—you get the idea.
Here it is: my new site. You might have liked my old site, but I move my furniture in my house every six months and my blog is no exception. I am a big fan of keeping it interesting, trying new angles, slicing and dicing it differently. I hope you like it!
I do need to apologize: in the twist and transfer of it all, I lost about a month of lovely, thoughtful comments. To all of you out there among them: sorry they are lost, I did read them and appreciate them. My posts were caught in the middle as well, so I am happy this site has officially landed and I can dip into more of a routine of pull up the chair, coffee-sipping, tomato-talking.
Oh, the cookies? I walk into a coffee shop and see them at the counter staring at me. I couldn’t resist taking a photo: they were begging me. Besides, I plan to make biscotti for this holiday season, I already have a few in mind (and they make awesome gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers and hostesses), and will post on them in the coming weeks.
So: lift a cookie, sip your coffee, pull up a chair for a little talk. Tis the season to linger.

Well I *love* the new look! So chic and clean!
And since you mentioned biscotti, I think you might be interested in a contest to win a personalized, signed copy of “Dolce Italiano” the new Italian dessert cookbook by Gina DePalma, Executive Pastry Chef at Mario Batali’s Babbo in NYC.
At my blog and four others, we are posting recipes from the book over two weeks. I posted one for the most delicious pound cake ever, Ricotta Pound Cake, yesterday and you might be especially interested in Mosaic Biscotti from Monday.
You only have to comment to enter the drawing, so come on over and say hello, or ciao as it were
Your new template is beautiful, Janelle!
And those biscotti look delicious!
Love the new template, love the biscuits, very relieved that you didn’t make them as well as the template … but they’re a great example to us all
Joanna
Love the redesign — it’s always a bit chaotic to make major change, and what better way to unwind afterwards than with cookies?!
Oh Janelle! It’s lovely! Very nice and professional looking!
Patricia: thanks! I love those biscotti!
Joanna: My biscotti probably won’t be SO beautiful:)
Lydia: Thank you—cookies and treats are always a good reward, eh? :)))))
Erika: Thank you, it is so nice to hear!!
Love the “new” site! Made the pork tenderloin and roasted sweet potatoes again and it was wonderful as usual!
I love the new look! You did a great job! I really would like to re-vamp my website too but I just haven’t had the time.
Cheers to the new look!
It is beautiful Janelle. I love it. I like the invitation extended in this first post also.
Loving the new look, congrats !!!
Jenna: I LOVE to hear when people make recipes from my blog. LOVE it! Thanks for trying it!
Jennifer: THANKS. I cannot take all the credit, I am no programmer:). I had a lot of help (and probably too many opinions;).
Cynthia: Thanks. SO glad you like it; I am excited!
CFG: (Your own acronym:)), thanks! And thanks for stopping by!
The new site looks wonderful
Yes on the biscotti and yes on the coffee. I’m about ready for a mid-morning snack, and these fit the bill, deliciously.
Good job! I will be stopping by to read your upcoming posts!
Everything looks great, and you can’t miss with biscotti, especially dunked into fabulous coffee. I’ll pull up a chair!
I love the new you! It is like you’ve been to the spa.
I’ll have a cup of coffee with my biscotti=D
LOVE the new look! I just gave Swirling Notions a makeover, and I know how much work it can be. And that horrendous, pulse thumping in your ears, sight turning to pinpricks feeling when you realize you’ve totally lost something in the shuffle between the two. Thank God it was only a month.
I’m thinking about biscotti for the holidays too . . . I ran into a recipe for savory biscottis (can’t remember where now, of course) that I was thinking of making as gifts in lieu of Christmas cookes.
Woops, I meant ‘cookies.’
