    Dan, there is an Amish bakery just a little ways off Highway 412 near Chouteau, OK. We stop there occationally when coming back from Tulsa, OK. They have HUGE cinnamon roles as well as homemade pies, cakes, bread, etc. It makes me hungry just thinking about it, and I just got back from lunch. [​IMG]

    All this time I thought the Amish were healthy people. Of course they work hard out in the sun and do things by hand that we let machines do, so I guess they can get away with it. I guess selling pies and cakes is probably a lot easier than growing and selling crops. [​IMG]

    For those afraid to go out after Dark...marzipan...

    ....It is a favored delicacy found in many countries that can be used in baking and in covering and filling cakes, cookies, breads, tortes, and other delicacies. Marzipan is a sweet, pliable mixture of almond paste and sugar. It is often tinted with food coloring and molded into a variety of shapes such as fruits, animals, flowers and holiday shapes. During the Christmas holiday season it is a favorite decoration as well as a filling in numerous delicacies.

    According to Werner, a Master Baker from Germany, marzipan was created several hundred years ago. There was a great drought in Italy and almonds were the only substantial crop to survive. Consequently, people learned many new ways to use and eat almonds. They made almond bread, almond pie, almond soup and almond pastries. Somewhere during those times someone created marzipan. People liked it so much that it flourished even after the famine past. Travelers carried the recipe from one city to another, eventually it reached Lubeck and Hamburg, Germany. Marzipan is still made there today. The marzipan made in Lubeck is based on an old traditional recipe and is considered the finest marzipan in the world. When you buy marzipan marked "Made in Lubeck" or "Lubecker Marzipan", you can be sure you are getting the finest product money can buy!

    The best marzipan recipes use a two to one ratio of almonds and sugar. The old masters don't consider a mix that contains more than half sugar as true marzipan. A trick used to make really great marzipan is to use 1 bitter almond to every 100 good almonds in the almond mix. If you've ever tasted a bitter almond, you understand how only one can have a serious effect. The smallest taste is an extremely gross experience you won't soon forget. A bitter almond uniquely alters the recipe and is always used in the best almond paste used in marzipan. One note about bitter almonds: do not be eat them in large amounts because they contain to trace amounts of cyanide.

    followinghim...All I can do is shake my head in amazement, that you are to even post now after eating such stuff.

    mmmmmmmmmmmmm...I do love cheese enchiladas! But now I do not eat them because of the flour and corn tortillas, but I can put insides on salad. Love hot peppers. Habenaro's are my favorite. I make my own cheese filling, with chicken and hot peppers.
    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    Well.. I went to the dentist. Unfortunately, I didn't know my dentist was a sadistic, stubborn moron!!

    He refused to do the fillings w/o "needling" me, and I refused to let him stick a needle in my mouth. So he sent me home.

    So I'm gonna swear off sugar until I can find a dentist who's willing to do the fillings w/o the needle!

    And it's not like he was gonna drill.. he was gonna sandblast them! :mad:

    When my wife was pregnant with Logan, she sent me to Sonic many times for cherry limeade slushes. Also, the smell of hamburger meat cooking made her sick. She couldn't be in the same room while it was cooking. There were some other foods she craved, but I can't think of them right now.
