Michelle,  I love making biscotti but mine is probably not nearly as delish as Regina's.  However it is thrice baked!  We love it.  I always make it to take on car trips.  We nibble it in the car with a travel mug of coffee before we stop for breakfast.  LOVE it and it's easy to make.  You know Dad likes to get on the road before the rooster crows! 

I really enjoyed reading today's blog.  BTW, I have that same espresso pot.  Nana had one too.  She got hers the year she rented the smaller beach house to a real life Contessa from Italy.  She taught her how to make real espresso.  That is the exact same kind that the Contessa (or was she a Marquessa? sp?) had.  She also taught us how to float cream on top of the espresso.  Memories are so sweet!
