i know i have given at least one of you, possibly both, my recipe for amaretto cookies.  any chance you can give it back to me via e-mail, as it's presently in a recipe box somewhere in my parents' house and i've forgotten the exact amount of sugar i'm meant to use?  (also the right amount of almond paste -- three and a half cans, but what that actually means i'm not sure.)

also, can anyone tell me the difference between almond paste and marzipan?  when i was buying almond paste in the states, the marzipan was right next to it and i swear the ingredients were the same.  here, so far i've only seen marzipan (in white and gold, i admit), and i wonder if it's going to ruin the cookies if i try to make them with this stuff.

also also, my backmost tooth on the lower left is really sharp, and scratches my tongue.  ow.  (that has nothing to do with amaretto cookies.  i just thought i'd whine about it for a bit.)

ph34R my conversion skilz

okay, my googling-and-button-pushing skills, then.  for i? have converted my time-honored cookie recipes (chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies; amaretti will have to wait until i can remember or be reminded how much sugar to use) into metric.  MWAHAHAHAHA!

i will copy them down someplace i am unlikely to lose them, so i don't have to do all this again.  yes.
