I didn't know what marzipan was until a fellow engineer brought some in to work one day in the mid-90s. In my youth, I lived in (West) Germany for 3 years and had visited just about every free country in Europe at the time and don't ever recall having had it. I was always under impressed by European desserts.

Best bread I ever ate was in Switzerland. Discovered that a local grocery store bakes a bread that is very close to it.
Also loved getting hot fudge sundaes there - bowl of ice cream with a rim of whipped cream and a gravy boat of hot fudge.
Coffee this morning? Or should I try housing a few bags of fun dip flavored sugar?
Was fun dip really just dipping a stick of sugar into a bag of sugar? Who let me eat that garbage?!?!
I have chronic insomnia (thanks, dad). I fall asleep just fine, but almost always wake up during the night for a few hours (like now- gong on 3 hours awake ). Anyway, on the advice of many, I tried melatonin. Nothing. Tried it again. And again. And again. Still nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.
Hey sue71! Hello! How ya been? Nice to "see" you.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
if we lose our football game to UVA tomorrow, I hear we could be signing a lucrative deal with Milk Duds.
Mine appears to be worry/stress related. I went a month or so sleeping through the night or at most waking up, looking at the clock, and going right back to sleep. During that time I was also very disciplined to not pick up a screen and activate the brain. I've regressed the last few days. I did try the melatonin again last night and now understand about the vivid dreams component that others have mentioned.
Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, and Pilsbury all say to not eat raw batter. Should I listen?
