I might let a couple live in my office. Ehhhh... I'd put them on our receptionist's desk. She likes "cute" and I could enjoy them guilt-free there. Candy corn is a Halloween classic. A staple that invokes the season, like clusters of Indian Corn, piles of pumpkins on the grocery store apron, and black cardboard cutouts of bats. I like seeing it around, though I totally don't understand its gustatory appeal.

Originally Posted By trailsend <<>>Note: What IS marzipan, anyway?<<>> Labuda ~ I'm not sure what it is made of, but most people do not like it. To me, it tastes almost like sweet plastic, if that makes any sense. I think it takes so much sugar and whatever chemical is needed to form the shapes of fruit or whatever and keep the shape without melting or dissolving that it has no flavor. You usually see it at Christmas as little pieces of fruit decorating cakes, etc.

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS From Wikipedia: Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight. Most marzipan is also flavored with rosewater. < does not like it and again cringed when I read the description

Two c's in a list of responses -- pure amatuer hour and NOT up to the fine standards established by Great Grandfather 2oon when he opened the Lab back in 1923. My humblest apologies, Great Grandfather! Forgive me! BRIDE OF MEANINGLESS FOLLOW-UP SURVEY QUESTION: Most unlikely statement you would ever make: a. "Candy Corn? For me? I'm not worthy!!!" b. "Candy Corn? For me? I'd rather lick the underside of a table in a truck stop diner." c. "Clem, pull the truck over. I've decided to return to Julliard after all." Q&A Department answers Deogges Mom's inquiry: "What is a Dado Saw?" A: A dado blade is a special blade for a table saw that cuts grooves or notches in wood. You can adjust the width and thickness of the cut depending on your project. You slide the piece of wood you are cutting over the dado "stack" -- a set of blades that score the wood at the desired thickness. One should always wear eye protection when using any kind of table or circular saw, and be sure to use push blocks to safely glide the board across the saw's path and avoid injury.

I'm glad to see you're on top of things, 2oony. You have much to live up to. Great Grandfather 2oon would never have let this happen.
