Right now I am surrounded by fog for half of the day, every day and I am beginning to get a bit bored. The sun appears for a couple of hours after noon and then it disappears behind the mountain. There is not even a hint of a breeze or wind that could sweep away the fog and let us see the sun because all the weather forecast reports splendid weather but I want to know where that splendid weather is hiding now when I need it??! And I am living in Tuscany where fog is quite unusual, in the north of Italy, on the other side of the Apennines fog is a constant factor in this season and I cannot say that I envy them! So what else can I do than drink tea and eat cookies and dream of a sunny future….?
BISCOTTINI CON FRUTTA CANDITA or COOKIES WITH CANDIED FRUIT
175 g/6,1 oz butter
100 ml/0,42 cup brown sugar
3 tblsp chopped candied fruit
4oo-450 ml/ 1,7-1,9 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla sugar
- Stir sugar and butter well and add the candied fruit.
- Mix it with the flour and the vanilla sugar. It is supposed be a smooth dough that you easily can roll into small balls.
- Flatten the balls and put them on a baking-plate.
- Bake them for 8-10 minutes in a pre-heated oven (200°C/390°F).

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
