I cant eat it. plus all she does is crap on the rising cost of dried fruit..so she barely puts any in there!! lets me honest, its a biscotti really...no a biscotti had a love fest with a dry ass biscuit.

she ruined me off of Stollen..(however you spells it.)

if she rings my doorbell, I'll hide behind the couch stationary so she doenst see me.

Ha! When I used to relieve the milk route driver's vacations, there were lots of food treats left with the milk money. One old lady used to leave out a slice of gingerbread wrapped in plastic. One day, as I was getting set to enjoy this delight, I saw the wrap had been repurposed from a local grocery store, from the meat department and had not been washed . However a few miles further along was a GSD who had a dislike for milk truck drivers, so I treated him with that. I never again ate anything from that house.

That's the story of my life. Vicki has no respect for tools of any kind - except for her sewing and quilting tools. Pick up a pair of her scissors, and you are in danger of losing an arm.

Try Schlunder Traditional German Marzipan Stollen Pieces. Comes in a 12 oz black packet. Very tasty.

Tell them Les sent you.

I'll remember that. If I'm ever in the area in Dec, I'll make a point of it!

Weirder things have happened!

But that sounds like a COLD trip. Maybe not too bad because of the proximity to the ocean, but still, I suspect it's often a bit chilly in Dec.
