Update- I took the Nes-walnut plunge. They came out fine. Maybe no
almond-y flavor, but what the heck - I think they'll be decent enough
to take to my out of town hostess. Now I can use some of that clear
wrap I bought last year, thinking it was silver gift wrap, and some
old gold ribbon. (Giftwrap packrat.)

By the way, if anyone knows a better way of rolling those biscotti
logs and then transferring them to the baking sheet, let me know. I
swore a LOT. I think I lost the equivalent of a couple of biscotti on
the counter, dough handler, etc.
