Very funny, Brandu.  I do stuff other than marzipan!  Although I thought it
priceless to see the looks on some faces when I dumped out my bag of
marzipan I brought along when I was teaching that "your arms in marzipan"
class at Crusades.  I only brought about  5 pounds or so...

When I brought out this platter of snails at cooks guild, the folks just
fell out.  And trust me, it is getting harder and harder for me to get much
of a reaction from them anymore.  I think your kids will really like them.
Morningstar saw the pictures and thought they were darling.  I had tried
various "presentations" and finally settled on the thin layer of shredded
lettuce on the ornate silver platter.  Simply elegant in a preverse sort of
way.  I too am going to make a more tastey snail.  This was done in a pinch.
