Seeing as my family is a bunch of marzipan junkies, the fact that one of the ingredients is almond paste demanded that I test these, pronto. And of course there are things that I completely forgot about, like almond cookies that are made with only three ingredients (okay, four, I added salt). Going through this binder is fascinating for me as I see what kind of recipe hopes I’d had ten years ago - a surprising amount I’ve actually gotten to. Remember those dark days before the internet, when curious cooks actually had to clip recipes from newspapers and magazines, and keeping those clippings organized in some sort of book or box? Nope, me neither. We’ve lived here over four years, the longest I’ve lived anywhere besides my parents house, which means that weeding through our belongings is part “so that’s where my Tonic CD went!” (he swears he was joking) and part “you had a recipe binder?” Cut the cake into 1½-inch squares, then serve.We’re starting the long and brutal process of packing up our apartment, brutal because as I am sure you know, the longer you live somewhere, the more uh, “stuff” you accumulate and forget about. Once set, trim the cake into a 7½-by-10½-inch rectangle, reserving all trim for snacking or rainbow cookie ice cream (see the recipe).Return to the refrigerator and chill until set, 30 minutes.
