Cooking instruction summary:

Place candy canes in a large zipper lock bag. With the back of a heavy spoon, smash the candy canes until small pieces, 1/8-inch thick. Preheat an oven to 350°F. Coat 2 large cookie sheets with cooking spray.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the margarine and sugar on medium speed until well incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla until blended.Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until incorporated.Turn the batter out onto a generously floured work surface and divide in half. With well-floured hands, transfer one-half onto the greased baking sheet and shape into a log about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on one side of the sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter, leaving at least 4 inches between the logs. (They will slightly spread as they bake.)Bake the logs until the edges are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs, still on the pan, on the diagonal into slices 1/2 inch wide. Carefully turn the slices on their sides and return them to the oven. When you run out of room on one baking sheet, start transferring slices to the other sheet. Sprinkle the tops of each slice with the candy canes bits.Bake until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes more and the candy has melted. Let the biscotti cool completely on the pans on wire racks. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 4 dozen biscotti.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
