Just back from teaching, have fed and walked the dogs and, as
delicious as the cake sounds, I am going to grab a salad topped
with some cheese and head for bed... The cooking/baking will
have to wait until I can think... Not possible at the moment.

I am going to a gym and being properly punished by a close
relative of Marque de Sade. I feel that I deserve a decadent,
down right sin filled treat that will make me forget the pain,
my body's downward slide and off key brass band that plays in
my mind as I limp from the gym toward home at 7 a.m. every day.

Not a shot in hell, if that escapee from some dirty dungeon has
her way, will I not fit in my britches any time soon....

One pooped potter...

Thank you "soooo" much L.P.....I'm all over this one. We will be digging
in before sundown this evening., which is all I need considering the
sugar binge that I was on throughout the holidays. Made for some pretty
interesting throwing though when the blood sugar levels started to
spiral up and down. I've gotten some pretty fluid looking altered forms
in the process.

Dude, if I'd known that's what was needed for fluid looking forms, I'd
have eaten a whole cake myself. Dang; I"m always a day late and a
dollar ten short. :(

excellent.

Lisa, you know I love you like a sister...but I have an even greater
blasphemy...Tofu--yep--.a wonderful almond/marzipany cookie recipe with
silken tofu. The tofu makes it light and moist. We can't get enough of
them.

Riggs on sat 13 jan 07


OK, here's the recipe in response to all the off-list requests...not
that I don't love all the emails.

I haven't had that much attention since the day I wondered around the
mall after leaving a Special Education conference with a name tag that
said, "Linda Riggs, Mentally Retarded."

Anyway, can't think of a better combination of topics...pottery and
dessert recipes.


Almond Cookies

Makes 4 dozen


3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour--or unbleached white flour
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raw almonds, chopped fine
4 ounces silken tofu
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/4-3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (would recommend at least 1/2 cup)
1 to 2 tablespoons almond extract (I use 2 for that extra almondy flavor)

1/4 cup chopped dried cherries-optional

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder and salt. Mix in
the chopped almonds and chopped cherries.

3. In another bowl, mash the tofu and combine with the olive oil, sugar
and almond extract. Mix well.

4. Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the flour
mixture. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, flatten between your palms,
and place them on ungreased baking sheets. Bake the cookies about 10
minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the cookie sheet
and cool on a rack. For soft cookies store in an air-tight container.

I would like to have the recipe. I am a big marzipan fan and being a
vegetarian, I like tofu too(It's all in the way it's cooked, isn't
it?). Would you be willing to share it?

I missed this orignally, so lemme just say that Tofu, while I don't eat
it myself because it has no taste so why bother, is LESS OFFENSIVE THAN
SQUASH, which tastes like - well, let's just not go there. BLECH!
