These are a few photos we took before we left for Vermont (where we have been for the last ten days). The day was cloudy but still bright - perfect for a bit of picture taking. We dressed up to go to a local Korean bakery just a few blocks away. </div>

Let me explain. A few weeks ago we went to see To Rome With Love directed by Woody Allen. Well, we did <i>go</i> to see it, but we didn't actually get to the theatre that day. Instead, we saw Mr.Allen in the flesh! It was one of those days which you plan to do something, and never really get to it. Imagine if we had actually gone to see the movie that day - we wouldn't have spotted The Woody outside of the very cafe in which we were having tea (for, like, the fourth time that day. and yes, we do drink tea in the summer time. hot tea. if you don't believe us see <a href="http://www.abctwins.blogspot.com/2011/08/open-up-clothing-shop-in-one-day.html" target="_blank">this post</a>). Anyway, being the shy people we are, we never asked for his autograph. But being the creepy people we are, we sat and spied on him eating dinner at the restaurant across the street for...um...<strike>three</strike> hours. So there. That's why these outfits are dubbed the "Woody Allen Outfits".<br />

A few weeks ago we made these chocolate biscotti. We used a recipe from <a href="http://www.davidlebovitz.com/" target="_blank">David Lebovitz's blog</a>. The recipe can be found <a href="http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/01/chocolate-biscotti/" target="_blank">here</a>. These brought us right back to Florence. We slightly under cooked them to leave them the tiniest bit soft (like real Italian biscotti). I don't know why in America biscotti have to be as hard as little rocks. They are really rich and chocolaty, but not too sweet. These are great with a glass of milk - although this confirms the stereotype of the wholesome milk-drinking morning-jogging american. </div>

We warn you: once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, the mixture is a little hard to mix. But there is no reason to worry about over mixing - so kneed away!<br />

A tip: the recipe says to let the once - cooked log cool for 15 minutes. But this made it hard to cut, as the chocolate chips were still a little melty and therefore stuck to the knife. The batter was also a little too warm and soft and therefore the crispy outside cracked and made the biscotti slightly misshapen. We made these again a week later. This time we let the log cool for 15 or 20 minutes in the fridge. This tightened up the batter and allowed the biscotti to keep its shape. the slices were a lot more sharp and elegant looking as well.<br />

All lined up like little soldiers. The smell of these cookies filled the apartment. Our parents were walking back and forth making yummy noises. They even tried to eat the <i>'cotti</i> before the <i>bis'</i> was added!<br />

Remember, you have to eat these in a white night gown while watching Star Trek (the classic 1960s series to go with classic biscotti). They can be enjoyed no other way.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">A few weeks ago we made some more resin sculptures. For these </span><span style="background-color: white;">pieces we used the resin as both a glaze and a cast. The pieces are not fully complete, they are really just an exploration in the clear resin material. The process and the resulting sculptures reminded us of imagery from Stanislaw Lem's Solaris. Shown below are the materials we used: a clear casting epoxy and a semi-permanent mold, plastic cups, and a small (adorable) whisk. </span></div>

I am wearing a very festive all gray outfit. The shirt-dress is the same one seen in <a href="http://abctwins.blogspot.com/2011/08/black-and-blue.html">Black and Blue</a>. I flopped the front of the dress over one shoulder to create a drapy shirt look, exposing the button up underneath. The shirt is a hand-me-down from my grandmother, the belt is another hand-me-down, and the shoes are vintage from <b>Reminiscence</b> in New York. The bag is a simple canvas tote that I got for free from my school in Florence. Legs are my own. <br />

The belt is very long and loops around my waist twice, giving the illusion of two belts.<br />

Don't look too closely at my legs - as <a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj38tj0gDb1qax92z.jpg">Oscar Wilde</a> once said: "Me and the mosquitos are fighting a duel to the death, one of us has to go". (fine, that isn't really a picture of Oscar Wilde and the quote isn't too accurate - but you get the gist)<br />

Transparent blouse is from H&M, and the bandeau is from American Apparel. The skirt is from a GREAT thrift/costume/gag store - Reminiscence - in New York.

This is a simple long-sleeved H&M men's shirt. Doubtful, aren't you? C<i>uuuu</i>rious (said in a phony British accent while pulling glasses down over the nose), aren't you?<br />
