Re: Almond Paste

G.. P. S., Silver Spring

The Sunday Star some time
ago. They are the recipes Of
a woman who makes marzi-
pan (almond paste) as a
hobby.
Use-at-Once Marzipan: l
cup prepared almond paste
cut in pieces, 2 unbeaten egg
whites, " teaspoon rum or
vanilla extract, about 3 cups
confectioners' sugar.
Blend almond paste, egg
white and flavoring extract.
Add sugar, a cupful at a
time, mixing thoroughly after
each addition. Knead until
smooth and well-blended. If
marzipan becomes sticky,
add confectioners' sugar. To
color marzipan, work in vege-
table paste coloring, a small
amount at a time. Shape or
use as desired. Yield: about
IA pounds marzipan.
Golden Marzipan: 2 cups
prepared almond paste cut
in pieces, l cup confection-
ers' sugar, about 1s teaspoon

move and cool. Yield. about
1A pounds marzipan.
Glaze: "a cup light corn

my family a little more.
I realize that Regina had
an unhappy childhood and I
have tried to make 1t up to
her in many ways. but I
don't know what more 10 do
to prove my love for her.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Regina appears to be a
rather self-pitying person
who Is determined to see her
self as starving for some
thing others ought to give.
She does not say that her
own giving has been In any
way rejected or rebuffed. In
stead. she chooses to suffer
In silence-always hoping
that her husband will turn
into an ardent, demonstra-
tive wooer. and always blam-
ing him for falling short Of
her own desires.
Many individuals who be-
lieve they did not get affec-
ton from parents are q little
confused on the subject. It
is really unusual for parents
to withhold affection. But
the child who resented the
affection shown TO broth
ers and sisters. or the close
tie between the mother and
father, thinks OF himself rs
outcast and unloved. He re-
members his lonely, left
out feelings. but forgets TIE
times he may have with
drawn from a parents en-
brace because he felt angry
and resentful at not being
the one and only in that par
ent's life.
From the account given by
husband and wife, we gather
that Regina has carried over
some such pattern into her
married life. Instead Of feel
ing sorry for herself, we
would suggest that she try to
come out Of her own emotion
al freeze. She should see what
she can do to give of her
self to the utmost to her
husband and children.
