I've pretty much never met a biscuit I didn't like- and I've posted 2 more recipes, because I can't stop trying them.<BR/><BR/>They bring on generous doses of love and admiration, and heaps of self esteem as well. What more could a person want from something that can be made, start to finish, in half an hour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160622659504001932006-10-12T05:10:00.000+02:002006-10-12T05:10:00.000+02:00Lovely, lovely post and lovely, lovely drawing!

But I'm also glad you provided the link to your original biscuit recipe because I had forgotten all about the tomato tart, which made my mouth water when first I read about it and I definitely want to try. That is, if I can figure out how to convert those pesky metric measurements into English ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160518097350841232006-10-11T00:08:00.000+02:002006-10-11T00:08:00.000+02:00Having bisquetes wearing a Balenciaga dress on, it...Having bisquetes wearing a Balenciaga dress on, it's like going through a catwalk to the most elegant pastry shop on earth. <BR/><BR/>I can prove that Lobstersquad's recipe tastes so gooooood!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160502297808265292006-10-10T19:44:00.000+02:002006-10-10T19:44:00.000+02:00Ximena, you are my good luck charm!

In the past few days while straightening up a book shelf I just picked up and re-read part of More Home Cooking (for maybe the two hundredth time) and the part I read was about was her traditional New Year's Eve dinner which included biscuits of which she wrote, "...people fall upon them." At the time I asked myself why I never make them and now I'm asking myself again. <BR/><BR/>It's very touching that you were able to make your father so happy with biscuits. It's an interesting thing, the way food can provide a connection to a lost time.<BR/><BR/>And finally, I love that drawing! I looked at that drawing and thought, Dior-New-Look but Balenciaga-ish. OK, it's Balenciaga. You've been on a roll of really great drawings lately -- even greater than usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160485435695544942006-10-10T15:03:00.000+02:002006-10-10T15:03:00.000+02:00I'm imagining your father's smile: priceless!I'm imagining your father's smile: priceless!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.com
