[Sca-cooks] Olwen's Marzipan: Was My Address

[Elise Fleming]

Adamantius quoted (Olwen?):
> You guys are supposed to eat the stuff....

Then he commented:
>I have to throw in my agreement here. While the temptation is to
put it
>on a shelf somewhere for all to admire, an Olwen Original, bear in
mind
>that Olwen is banking on a renewable and therefore infinite market
for
>her particular... um... addic... I mean, talent.

Well, the Midrealm arms that I believe she made for Pennsic last
year "languish" uneaten in my dining room.  They're in a plastic
"sleeve" and I hadn't been able to force myself to eat it - or to
share it - at Pennsic.  When I've made pretty stuff, I used to get
testy when folk didn't want to consume it, so I can sympathize (and
empathize) with both sides.  I'm still not gonna eat the arms,
though.  Might try for a record to see how long it will keep.  I had
a gold-covered small marzipan that I made around 1990 and finally
threw out in 2001...
