Today I had some little cookies and the crisp short-crust pastry was shaped like a whole walnut, and inside was almond cream my Polish friend made some for me - but I can't find a picture on the whole internet
They are specially made with a little iron, like a waffle iron, but much niftier! Makes perfect little shells that stick together with the filling! I want to know what they are called and it's too late tonight to ring her to ask for the name AGAIN | |

I know...it is an outrage! They sell something called a Bourbon Cookie but it does not have Bourbon in it. Well if they do, there is not enough in them to taste it. Since I could not make my Bourbon Balls, we bought a bottle of Southern Comfort. Not going to make anything with it, just gonna drink it with Ginger Ale with a splash of Pomegranate juice to make it festive. Cheers! Happy Holidays to you and your family Jason. | |

I figure it is someone above telling me that I do not need them. After Christmas I hope to stay away from all of those bad things that I love like Vanilla Wafers. I can sit and eat the whole box in one sitting. Merry Holidaze | |

Could take 15 months so I was told. oh wow. 15 months! so...it's vermont you'll be moving to? northern? southern? eastern? or western? We have not decided entirely where we will settle down. My uncle has offered for us to stay in one of his vacant but furnished homes in Delaware until we decide. When I sent in the paperwork, I had to use my mother's address since I never longer have a mailing address in the states. They forwarded it from Chicago to Vermont for some reason. They are the busiest center and have the most back log. No rhyme or reason really, my mom lives in Tennessee. Go figure. Would have been much easier to have it processed here in London at the US consulate but they do not consider me a resident here either, though I have been her 15 months and have a visa. | |

"Homemade" and "delicious," he added. (Although he'd been speaking with his colleague in Russian, both of them managed full sentences, too, in perfectly good English.) The filling was a lot like dulce de leche (in color, for sure), and the cookies themselves were sweet; when I brought them out that evening, after a Cantonese dinner for eight, boy did they go fast. I must add the filling thank goodness was nothing like dulce de leche | |
