Dear Fiscotti Fan!
I need to tell you something...and it's pretty important!! You and I have been here for awhile now and I don't know if you know how much I appreciate you taking the time to read my stuff. I can't tell you how animatedly happy and giddy I get when you send me notes, comments and feedback. Some of you even take the time to call me and OH-MY-GOSH..I just get charged up!! I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for being a part of my Hallmark world!
You might be asking, 'Why is Rose getting so mushy?' - well, because most of you know I get a bit kooky (well, kookier) about this time as I get ready to celebrate my birthday the whole month of May. Yes, I'm one of those people and I'd like to think I am the one who invented this tradition LOL. When I say celebrate, I don't mean I'm out partying up a storm like I did when I was in my 20s (while the thought of doing this sounds appealing), I just find ways to be thankful for being alive.
Another thing to be thankful for is being surrounded by so many wonderful women (relatives and friends). Many will be celebrating Mother's Day and LADIES, you don't get enough credit for what you do. Please take the time to do whatever it takes to pamper yourself because you deserve it!!!
While I am not a mom, I do know what my mom had to put up with when she raised me and if she were alive, she'd say I was a handful!! This year marks 17 years since her passing and while I do my best to keep her memory alive, there are moments like Mother's Day when all sorts of emotions arise....mainly how much I miss her (and dad) and what I would give to have one more conversation with the both of them.
For Mother's Day, I want to share a song with you called "No Charge" (see video and lyrics below) - some of you will hear or read it for the first time and some of you probably haven't heard it in a long time. I share this because it reminds me of my mom. When this song used to come on the radio, she would put it up so loud, making sure everyone around her heard it. She would print out the lyrics and hand it out to her sisters and women friends and tell them to pass it on to their children. You think I joke, I actually found copies when I went through her stuff and I bet I have a cousin reading this right now shouting, 'yup, I have a copy!'. Hope you enjoy it!! Just a reminder to not take anything for granted xxoo!
Now, let's get to the good stuff! Are you ready to hear what this month's themed cookie is? Well, it's a chocolate based fiscotti with Rolo Minis and chocolate chips on the inside and sponged toffee sprinkled on the outside. And we are calling it - Fiscotti Heaven...and it's only here for the month of May....so if you think it sounds delicious, wait until you try it, it'll knock you off your feet!
Again, thanks for coming by to visit!

NO CHARGE
by Shirley Caesar
My sister's little boy came in the kitchen one evening
While she was fixing supper and he handed her a piece paper
He had been writing on and after wiping her hands on an apron
She took it in her hands and read it and this is what it said:
For mowing the yard $5
And for making up my own bed this week $1
For going to the store $.50
And playing with little brother while you went shopping $.25
Taking out the trash $1
And for getting a good report card $5
And for raking the yard $2
Total owed $14.75
Well she looked at him standing there and expecting and a thousand memories flashed through her mind. So she picked up pen and turned the paper over and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you, holding you inside me NO CHARGE
For the nights I sat up with doctored you and prayed for you NO CHARGE
For the time and tears and the costs through the years there is NO CHARGE
When you add it all up, the full cost of my love is NO CHARGE
For the nights filled with grey and the worries ahead - NO CHARGE
For the advice and the knowledge and the costs of your college NO CHARGE
For the toys, school, and clothes and for wiping your nose there's NO CHARGE my son
When you add it all the real cost of my love is NO CHARGE
After that mom finished talking to her little boy
He looked up at her great big o' tear in his eyes and he said "Mama, I sure do love you"
And then reached out he got the letter and turned it over and he wrote in great big words.
Paid in full
When you add it all up
The real cost of my love is no charge
Happy Mother's Day!

Everyone needs to feel appreciated, especially those you spend so much time with!!
As a business owner and former employee to several organizations, I know how important it is to build a rapport and make someone feel appreciated - people like employees, coworkers, clients, suppliers and outsource contractors. Some of these very people have become like family and every now and again, it's always nice to remind them how important they are in my life.

Fiscotti Ingredients & Storage
|
|
|
Our Fiscotti cookies are homemade and rich in flavor. We only use the freshest ingredients. I do my best to buy local - found the best egg farm nearby. The Fiscotti freeze well as they keep up to 6 months or more.
Ingredients: Our Fiscotti cookies contain wheat (gluten), nuts, seeds, and chocolate. While some biscotti may not contain all of these ingredients, trace amounts of them may be found.
Storage Directions: Store your Fiscotti cookies in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. The Fiscotti cookies are best eaten within 4 weeks, but can be stored in a refrigerator or freezer for up to 3 to 6 months. The cookies don't take long to thaw out, once removed from fridge/freezer, you can bite into it once you dipped it in your coffee/tea).
