I would have liked to bake shortbread but some of her gift-ees have 
issues with wheat.  She was talking in terms of "Almond Roca" and just 
as you say, I thought that might have moisture issues.

I may just have to hit the books.  OLD books, the kind that tell you 
important things like that.

Cheers,
Selene
