This may be more like what you have had. It isn't twice baked like the previous recipe and has a little less sugar and a little less flour making it less dense. One of the secrets of this kind of cookie is to chop the almonds..not to a powder or teeny pieces, but enough to release some of the nut oils which makes for a dough that is easier to mix. I'm not a big fan of almond extract, so I have cut back some, this recipe called for more...and you may like that really almond-ey taste, so add another teaspoon or two. Linda C Almond Slices 3/4 cup sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup brown sugar, packed 2 eggs -- beaten 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoons almond extract 3 cups almonds -- chopped 1/3 cup oil 2 teaspoons water 1 teaspoon cinnamon -- optional Mix all together, shape into flattened logs, brush top with beaten eggs (not those included in recipe). Bake 350 degrees for 19 - 25 min. (watch carefully). Cut while warm.

Boy, does that sound like a fun program! Here is a recipe I LOVE. I love cabbage, apples, and caraway together, so I searched for recipes on line and finally selected this one, printed it, made it, and filed it away with my own comments and changes. Then I forgot I had it, and went through the process all over again a couple of weeks ago, searching, selecting, and printing. When I went to put the new recipe in the file, I laughed to see that it was the SAME one I had printed out last time -- and I had made the SAME notes and changes! Both times I had felt the dish needed both more caraway and some sweetness, for which I added concord grape wine, which made it perfect, in my opinion. It made the flavor much more complex. I will give you the recipe as I found it, with my changes in brackets. This recipe doesn't have bacon (no recipe you ever get from me will!), but you can probably add some if you like. Warm Red Cabbage, Red Onion, and Apple Slaw 5 T extra-virgin (only) olive oil 3 T balsamic vinegar [I like more] [a good splash of very sweet red wine, or maybe try some grape jelly or brown sugar] 1/2 head red cabbage [I used white once and it was fine] 1 large red onion [I used white once and it was fine] cut into 8 wedges [I cut it smaller] 1 t caraway seeds [I think it needs a lot more] 2 Granny Smith (or any tart) apples cored and cut into 8 wedges [I cut it into smaller pieces] salt and pepper to taste 1. Cut out the core of the cabbage and cut the cabbage into small pieces [I shred it] 2. Warm the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. 3. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. 4. Add the cabbage, apples, caraway seeds, and vinegar [and wine or sugar]. Stir well. 5. Cook, uncovered, 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 6. Season to taste with salt and pepper when the cabbage is soft. 7. Transfer to serving bowl and serve immediately [I found it just fine serving it later].

It has depended on where I lived. Not on any other factor and that is weird when I think of it. When we lived in Montana, it was Creamette. When we lived in Virginia, it was Barilla. When we lived in California, it was Lunardi Homemade. When we lived in Washington, it was Angelina's When we lived in New Mexico, it was DeCecco. Now, I buy Barilla and DeCecco most of the time, and I love Creamettes too. I have a friend who cannot eat wheat products and at her home, she uses rice and other grains that make the pasta. She gets one that is a mix from a local natural foods store that is delicious! It is buckwheat, and rice.. and soemthing else. The color is ugly, the flavor is delicious!
