[Sca-cooks] Italian Nougat recipe

[Johnna Holloway]

I bought a pack of 100 sheets of edible wafer or rice paper years ago.
I got mine at a cake decorating store.
You don't see it much anymore at the smaller shops, but it can be 
ordered online---
http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/waferpaper.htm has it
This store http://www.sugarcraft.com/ actually has a great retail store 
that is just wonderful
to shop at. I spent several happy hours last April at it and at Jungle 
Jims---
http://www.junglejims.com/ which is a grocery store and market.
If you are ever in the Midrealm, it's worth going to an event
in Unicorn (Canton of Flaming Gryphon)
Miami University (Oxford OH) just to shop.
