Every year I have the unrestrained need to bake around Christmas, simply because it's the only time of the year I allow myself to eat my favorite cookie, anginetti. If I went all unruly, I'd be the size of a house. So I figured I'd share not only another one of my favorite Christmas songs but some virtual cookies. Since I can't actually share them with all of you (holy crap, image the electric bill! not to mention my hands), I figured a photo is the next best thing. :) From left to right, anginetti (anise), biscotti (anise), amaretti (almond). Yum!
I don't give books star ratings; I give them bite ratings. This is a bite. A book can get up to five of these evil-looking chompers, including half bites.
You can attribute your own wording to the ratings. Five's the best, three's decent, one and under isn't worth the gas to go to the library. I'll leave it to you to fill in the blanks.
