Carlo, we're still praying for you. Hope your recovery is swift and "chocked full" of good news. We love you, dear FRiend!
Glad to hear our Carlo is doing well. I have my fingers crossed for his speedy recovery.
Thanks, Christie

I must have some pretty powerful FRiends out in FReeperville! I am sitting here as proof that there must be a few really well connected folks with the right people in HIGH PLACES, if you understand my drift, to have gotten me over the hump so quickly.. I mean the PRAYERS WORKED. You are the most wonderful FRiends a guy could hope for, whether in need or not, but especially when your in trouble.. I love you all and thank you for caring, it means something down deep in that frightened little boy spot that every tough guy still has when the chips are falling, to know that someone special cares for you.. HUGGGGGGG Carlo

NOW, where were we?.. Oh yeah.. GREAT CHRISTMAS FOOD..
YeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
GLAZED WHITE CHOCOLATE ANISETTE BISCOTTI
* 3/4 cup Hazelnuts
* 3 Eggs
* 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon Almond extract
* 2 1/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
* 7/8 cup Sugar, yep 7/8th.. it's my recipe, get your own if you don't like it... LOL
* 2 tablespoons Anise seed -- crushed with a and pestle or hammer (or shoe).. Ha!
* 1 teaspoon Baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt
* 3 ounces White chocolate chips
Place nuts in a shallow pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. While still warm, rub nuts between a double layer of paper towels to remove their papery skin.
Cool. Chop into halves or thirds. In a small bowl, beat eggs, vanilla and almond extract with a whisk. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, anise seed, baking soda and salt. Add egg mixture and mix until blended, about 1 minute. Mix in nuts. Divide dough in half. On a greased floured baking sheet, form 2 logs about 1/2 inch thick, 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Space them at least 2 inches apart. Bake in the middle of a preheated 325 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until set and bake through.
Transfer from baking sheet to a wire rack and cook 5 to 10 minutes. Place on cutting board. With a serrated knife, cut 1/2-inch thick slices diagonally at a 45 degree angle. Lay slices flat on baking sheet and return to oven for 10 minutes, turning over once, to dry slightly. Cool on wire rack.
To make glaze: heat white chocolate chips over hot water in a microwave oven on Medium power, checking every 30 seconds until chocolate melts. Stir to blend. With a spatula, spread chocolate over entire top surface of cookies. Cool at room temperature until set.
Yield about 3 1/2 dozen. This is a recipe that you'll give to friends, or they'll ask for it..be ready!! Enjoy
Thanks so much for the update!
