I tried out this biscotti recipe i found from one of the food blogs that i visited.. it was pretty easy to make, as compared to the price that i see that it is selling for.. but then again, it could just be that Starbucks are selling anything at a steeper price than normal.. hehe.. but i was interested to know for myself, what is so special about these biscotti things..
Firstly, i should have taken more effort to really smoothen the dough before i baked them.. it would have been so much easier to cut, rather than crumbling and breaking halfway through..
Second, i cut short the second baking section by half. The biscotti didnt dry up as much as it should, but then again, i didnt want a rock-hard cookies either.. (plus i sort of burn the "white" part of the biscotti during the first baking *blush*.. so didnt want to end up with totally black biscotti instead of black & white.. )
Still not too sure on this part, whether it would be better with longer baking time.. but since this was my first attempt, will probably try to follow through with the recipe next time..
My verdict: the biscotti is easy enough to make & quite tasty really.. but this type of cookie is probably too dry for my taste.. i prefer the crumbly, soft, buttery type.. but would definitely consider making them again.. plus it's really pretty.. hehe..
p/s: I really should learn how to take better food pictures.. the pictures kept turning out blurry & not as appetizing as it should.. ;p

I've been so lazy to update my blogs these days.. so many other distractions in the way.. haha..
Eid have been chaotic as usual.. with the frenzy preparation, family gatherings & visiting, eid drama (& i dont mean the ones on the telly).. it was finally a relief to reach back home.. good thing not too many people knew my parents came back with me to KL, or they'd come in droves to "beraya" with us... hehe.. either that or they themselves are not back from their own hometown..
i didnt managed to get much pictures as i planned, mainly coz gossipping with the aunts or stuffing my face with food was much more tempting.. haha.. below are some of those fabulous food made by my mum...

Of course, i couldnt resist taking the photos of these cute girls during lunch by our ex-neighbour.. The middle girl (in the bed) was playing host to the other 2, and you can see what an impressive host she makes.. lol...

Darn... my baked macaroni is a little overdone.. :( so obviously coz:

After the potluck: Yeay.. my macaroni was a big hit.. it was finished in matter of minutes.. :)

You Are an Avocado |
 You are casual, laid back, and totally easy go get along with. You are compatible with many different types of people, even those with strong personalities. You are creative and inspired. You don't put yourself in a box, and you aren't into labels. You are open-minded and diplomatic. People find your "middle of the road" ways comforting. |
You Are a Caramel Latte |
 You often are feeling indulgent - and you go ahead and indulge yourself. You are very creative. And you know you need to stimulate your senses to get your creative juices flowing. You are a truly optimistic person. You see the best in yourself and in everyone else. Your life can be a bit messy at times, but the most beautiful things come out of your chaos. |
