Biscotticasting again today!

[Laurel]

I'm trying out another 2 recipes for biscotti this morning. My dad's wife's, and a combination of the two that my dad gave me last month. I'm not casting yet, it's not even 6 here. I need to dry my hair and put some makeup on, then I'll make a post and start up the channel.

Won't you join me? I may take you on an enchanting tour of my beer room, or show you ugly bathroom light fixtures. I may even let you have a look out my window at the rare occurrence of sticking snow in western Washington.

I'll be there! I'm brewing today, so I'll come in and watch between mashing and sparging.

 

[Laurel]

ok, we're live!

I'm watching at work, pretty sure I tuned in the middle of the process, don't know how much I missed. But the missus does biscotti ...

Crap ... sorry, too many people at work trying to look over my shoulder. Naturally, each one asks "Who is that? - What is she doing? - Do you know her? - She's kinda hot." Uncultured nimrods. So, in the interest of keeping the oglers away, I had to shut your stream off. I hope the biscotti turn out delicious! Hmm, is the plural form 'biscotti' or 'biscottis'?

 

[Homercidal]

Cool! Hey there! Oops, need to be on the chat. But, I can't watch. I might get caught. Still, it seems to be working.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

Laurel,
That was cool. I've never seen a live broadcast over the internet.
Thanks
BTW - SWMBO would never allow me to store a keg in the bathtub

 

[Laurel]

ok, we're done now. Perhaps I'll do another one tomorrow morning, I have more biscotti to make. We'll see.

And soap! Don't forget to soapcast too!

I would coffee roast cast, but it's not very exciting, just 15 minutes holding a heat gun over some coffee beans.

That was fun, Laurel! I need to get my act together and Mogulus a brewday- but I never seem to remember.

And you don't look like Laurel, either.

You should broadcast anyway, I am curious to get started with roasting my own...


Thanks for the show, Laurel. You've helped me figure out what I'm making for office gifts now.

OK since you twisted my arm. OW OW!

It's mogulus.com/Saccharomyces, I'll fire it up in a few minutes...

Wooo-hooo. Something else to do this morning

Sweet!

 

[conpewter]

dang I missed it

 

[Laurel]

I think I'll do another tomorrow, and post up the recipe. I'm pretty happy with the flavor, and if these are a little softer than my first go-round then they're a winner.

 

[Laurel]

Alright, second day of biscotticasting! I'm live.

 

[McKBrew]

I'm live.

The rest of us are at work

 

[flyangler18]

The rest of us are at work

Didn't stop me yesterday!

 

[Saccharomyces]

The rest of us are pretending to be at work

There, fixed it for ya.

 

[jmulligan]

Me neither. Between Laurel's biscotti cast and Sacc's coffee roasting, I was well entertained at work.

 

[EvilTOJ]

Just got home from work, so nyaaa!

 

[conpewter]

That was fun, and yes... pretending to work right now.

 

[jmulligan]

Thanks for the inspiration, Laurel! I managed to motivate myself into 4 different kinds of biscotti. The first batch I made were cranberry/pistachio and they turned out well. I will add those pics tonight when I get home They turned out a pretty red and green. Here are the other 3 batches:

Chocolate, hazelnut, ginger

Cinnamon raisin

Gingerbread (I later crisscrossed a powdered sugar icing lightly over it)

The gingerbread didn't seem as tasty as the other options (without the icing) - it's probably because I really prefer gingerbread cookies, and the other biscotti are just chock full of nuts and fruit, whereas the gingerbread is just a solid, uniform cookie.

Anyway, great idea Laurel. This will definitely become a yearly event for me now!
