I have been lurking in this group for a while, and now I have a question!
I want to mail some festive baked goods to people across the country. In the
past I've stuck to dense things like chocolate decadence brownies and date bars.
I want to try some different things. Any suggestions? Anything spiffy that
you've tried that's worked well?
The baklava thread is making my mouth water! It's something that not many
people make for themselves, so it'd make a nice little gift. Can Baklava mail
ok? How?
The only bar thing that I really want and don't have is a good recipe for
traditional German Lebkuchen. A few years ago i tried the lebkuchen in Joy of
Cooking and it turned out too dense and hard to chew. I liked the taste, but
nobody else could eat it. Any recipes?

Springerle are festive and sturdy. And they're *supposed* to age a
bit. That layered Croation 'nut roll' bread someone was asking
(Povitica) about looked shipable (Hickory Farm sells 'em.)
