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!

Joanna said (29 November 2007 at 4:14 am):

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

Love the redesign — it’s always a bit chaotic to make major change, and what better way to unwind afterwards than with cookies?!

Erika said (29 November 2007 at 7:13 am):

Oh Janelle! It’s lovely! Very nice and professional looking!

janelle said (29 November 2007 at 10:04 am):

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!

Jennifer said (29 November 2007 at 3:38 pm):

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!

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!

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.’
