We were thinking along the lines of Lazzaroni Italian almond cookies,
but we're open to ideas.


Today we drove out to the bookstore with the huge selection of
cookbooks, stood overwhelmed in front of the shelves, and compared
croissant recipes. When we're done with the ones in the freezer, we're
going to try cutting down on the amount of butter, doing the turns the
way Julia Child recommends, and raising the oven temp.
