A Lady's Kisses

My friend Jillian Johnson has been e-mailing me carefully selected items of interest ever since we became virtual friends while working to draft Wesley Clark. Jillian used to live in Santa Barbara, but that was before I knew her, and I keep waiting for her to come back and visit so we can meet face-to-face.

Meanwhile, thanks to her e-mails and weblog, I follow her adventures as she pursues the sweetest of day jobs, that of cookie-baking entrepreneuse.

Here Jillian blogs a delicacy not from her kitchen, but from yours — a time-consuming and therefore deeply soul-satisfying recipe for the quintessentially Italian and utterly sensual baci di dama.
