speaking of holy huge hips here we go, i have to make these.
i only have one almond torte recipe and it's the easiest thing you will ever make. But the taste is very impressive. All that is in it is butter sugar eggs flour and pure almond extract.
i got mixed up on my bloggie christmas card list did you get a card from me?
I was just about ready to give the old thumb a rest from spreading Christmas greetings around the bloggy world when I saw this feed and just HAD to come say YUMMMMMY! I'm printing out this too. I'mm with Karen D -- my hips! AAAHHH!! Rachel will surely tackle this one (thumbprints may be too much for my recovering thumb . . . but oooooooh how I love thumbprint cookies -- like a pearled oyster shell of YUM.
Wishing you and your family a Wonderful CHRISTmas! (I know it will be delicious.)
With Love,
Debbie
