Making a list of Christmas baking and making

[usonian]

2. Funny, I asked about a Panettone pan, and there were none. Just paper cylinders.

Hey, they get the job done.

I am tempted to bake stuff, or head to Sam's Italian Deli in Fresno. They have citron and other cool stuff.
But that's a long drive -- much longer for you ---

Since it is so long, I might make anise biscotti. They carry the pricey Leonard ones that are so loaded with anise, unlike others.

Sam's also has frozen sfogliatelle. You'd need dry ice to keep it frozen. I saw some once at Trader Joe's of all places, but "Stuff Comes and Goes at Trader Joe's" so don't count on anything being there except staples.

There should be lots of supplies in SF and East Bay, I am thinking A.G. Ferrari and others.

Funny thing, (number 2), I was searching all over for mafaldine (pasta) and it seemed to have vanished from stores. So I ordered 8 packages online (came from SoCal, I think) and of course, they showed up about 6 months later on Sam's shelves. I guess it's like the former "worldwide bucatini shortage" that abruptly ended. 🇮🇹
