I'm sorry about your brother.  I hope he starts to feel better and better every day.

Your coffee bar is so cute.  I love it!

Kohl's has the Keurig Duo on sale for $189.  That's way more than Wal Mart.

For anyone interested, this is my mom's biscotti recipe:

1/4 pound plus 4 TBL's butter

3/4 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 TBL vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 TBL vegetable oil 

1-2 cups nuts (as desired)

Cream butter, gradually add sugar, add an egg one at a time, add vanilla.  Mix well.  Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Gradually add into butter mixture.  Blend in oil.   Blend in pecans.  

Divide dough into 2 equal portions.  Shape each portion into an 8 X 2 inch loaf.  Place loaves about 4 inches apart onto lightly greased, floured baking sheet. (I use parchment paper instead)

Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.  Cool slightly, and then slices loaves diagonally into desired thickness.    Turn slices on side and return to oven to toast.  Bake 5 minutes on each side.  Depending on how toasted you want them, you can adjust the time.  

I've made them with chocolate chips, almonds, pistachios, dried cranberries, even dipped them in chocolate.

I feel like I've been chasing my tail all day long.  I've had to deal with so many little unexpected things today.  

My daughter lost a super tiny gold heart  charm today.  She's been very upset and looking all over for it.  I've been praying to St. Anthony for it to show up.

Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, considering all that's going on in the world right now.  But it's still upsetting.

Thank you!  Still looking.  I hope you find your ring. 

It's very cloudy here.  I have all the windows open.  It's 72 degrees, no humidity.
