Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana...The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can't remember what they are. |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Wipe apricots with a damp cloth. Do not soak or wash them, as this
would make them too moist. Mince or chop them very finely. Add a few
tablespoons confectioners' sugar to taste, and knead thoroughly by
hand, wetting your hands from time to time to make a smooth, soft,
slightly moist paste. Shape into marble-sized balls. Roll them in
confectioners' sugar and let them dry overnight. You can insert half
a bright green pistachio nut on top to offset the rich orange of the
apricots.
A splendid variation is stuffed apricotina. Use 1 tb. ground almonds
or finely chopped pistachios mixed with 1 heaping tsp. sugar. Make a
small hole in the center of each apricotina. Put in a little of the
filling, close the hole again, and roll in confectioners' sugar.
