        Nice to hear from you...and yes, I've been communicating mostly through email. Unfortunately, my schedule no longer allows me to keep full time track of blog commenting or other social type media. My job is really consuming. I do continue to love this culinary hobby...and really don't want to give it up.

        BTW...you were on my mind a few weeks ago...I made a variation of some of your Italian holiday cookies (chocolate involved) I grabbed two seasons ago ;o)

        Keep well.
        Ciao for now,
        Claudia
