There are two ways of making it: One is cooked marzipan, and the other is uncooked. Some recipes have egg whites, but the one that I use doesn't.
The recipe that I use is:
1 cup ground almonds
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Work everything except for the water together in a bowl until there are no large lumps, and then gradually work in 1 to 2 tablespoon of water with your hands until the mixture can be formed into a ball. It's a bit hard to describe the texture, but I'll try: It should be workable like fondant, but somewhat sticky -- not dry or crumbly. You should be able to roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper, and it should hold its shape when formed.
Wrap in plastic wrap or place in a ziplock bag and store in the fridge.

I just learned I need to have surgery on my nose. Here's what happened:

Went to a ENT doctor to have my nose looked at because for the past, well, long while, I have been having trouble breathing through a nostril. The doctor looked at my nose, and was surprised.

Lets just say, the doctor was able to tell WITHOUT a cat scan that my septum was severely out of shape. I need surgery to get it fixed.

In short, I am going to have surgery done on my nose.

Probably not fun but then not being able to breathe isn't much fun either. Hopefully it is a quick and easy repair.

The temperature is 72 degrees sunny partly cloudy with 43 percent of possible rain. Of course, that means the humidity will be off the scale.
