Dandy Christmas Candy

Christmas only comes once a year, so I figure it’s up to me to take
the season firmly in hand and make the most of it. :

‘Wanting to be fair about the whole thing, Christmas, in tum, makes
the most of me as well. In fact, there’s more of me just after Christmas
than at any other time of the year. ; :

I like to think of it as experiencing the Holiday Season to the fullest.
Literally. All day, every day. . : .

Of course, just as soon as I waddle out of the Season, I have to start
worrying about how I’m ever going to get into my jeans again. —Or,
for that matter, my little Datsun truck. .

But, for the next three blissful weeks, I will measure, and taste, and
mix, and taste, and roll, and taste, and cut, and taste, and bake, and
taste, and taste. ‘ ia :

Then during the last week, I can settle down to just plain serious

tasting.
Yes, every single year, for the past eight years, I have unselfishly
sampled myself into split seams purely in the interest of bringing.
ional: fel Chri recipes to my cooking column fans

— both of you.

Not wanting to shilly-shally around, I get right into the spirit of the
thing by starting with the candymaking. I figure if I'm going to have a
working relationship with 8,690,324 calories over the next month, I
may as well meet them head on. :

One note here. It is best to make the candy while the children are at
school. It is extremely difficult — but not entirely impossible — to
hold them at bay with a wooden spoon while scraping out the candy pot
gripped tightly between your knees io get at each and every scrap of the
leftover bits that the cook must taste all by herself.

Caramel Pecan Logs :

An enormous recipe that makes enough for terrific gifts. In fact,
these are so good, you'll have to hide them from yourself. Unless
you're like me. In that case, have someone else hide them. Then be
prepared to offer enormous bribes. Or make more and don't be so
stupid the second time around.

-~"The-nougat centers‘are made in two steps: Combine 3/4-c~ of the:
sugar, 2/3 c. of the com syrup, and 1/4 c, of the water in a 1-1/2 quart,
beavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture boils.
Boil, without stirring, to 238 F. When the mixture gets to about 230F. ,
beat the egg whites until they stand in stiff peaks. Pour the hot 238 F.
syrup over the beaten egg whites in a thin stream, beating constantly
with an electric mixer until slightly cool, about five minutes. Spoon

while you make the second syrup. Combine remaining 2-1/4 c. sugar.
2/3 c. com syrup, and 3/4 c. water in a three-quart saucepan. Cook,
stirring often, to 258 F. Pour immediately into center of egg white
mixture, Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
Stir in butter and vanilla. Let stand, beating occasionally, until

is very stiff and holds its shape. The texture of the mixture will change
noticeably and it will no longer be shiny. With buttered fingem, press
into a well-buttered, the bottom lined with foil, eight-inch square pan.
Keep in the fridge until very firm — a few hours or a few days,
depending on your schedule. Tum firm candy onto a cutting board and
peel off the foil. Cut in half, then in half again, making four squares.
Cut each square into four logs of equal size, making 16 logs.

To make caramel coating: Combine sugar, com syrup, and 1/2 c. of
the cream in a two-quart saucepan. Stir until mixture boils. Cook
without stirring to 236 F. Slowly stir in another 1/2 c. cream and cook
again to 236 F. Add remaining i/2 c. cream and cook to 242 F. stirring
often as mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Set pan
of caramel over a pan of hot water, Working quickly with two forks,
drop nougat logs, one at a time, into caramel, coating thoroughly, hold
log over caramel to drain slightly. Drop logs into shallow dish
containing nuts and roll to coat. Place finished logs on waxed paper-
lined tray to cool. When cool, wrap logs in foil and store in an airtight
container in a cool place. Let set at least five hours, or weeks, before
cutting. When ready to serve, unwrap and cut logs in one-half-inch
slices. Makes 4-3/4 pounds or 128 slices,

sexual desire! Tell him I said so.
Occasionally he should give you the
hugging and kissing you desire, and
you should give him the sexual
pleasure he desires even when you
don’t. Tell him that you will mastur-
bate him sometimes when he wants
sex and you don’t.

It is common for couples to
experience different levels of desire.
This is only a problem when they
make it into one. When he under-
stands that your disinterest has
nothing to do with his ability as a
jover, he should relax and stop
pressuring you.

Q. My lady friend thinks I have a
problem, but I think I am fine. I am 81
and can still get an erection and
ejaculate, though I don't ejaculate
every time I have an erection. She is
55 and understandably worried that I
won't be able to keep up with her if
we get married, which is what I want
to do. Sometimes when we have sex, I
lose my erection. I am always capable
of giving her an orgasm, either
manually or orally, so that isn’t the
problem. I don’t care if I have an
orgasm every time or not. But she

cares.

I went to a doctor at her insistence
and the doctor gave me a clean bill of
health. In fact, he said I am doing very

‘well in the sexual department for my

age. Why do my occasional lapses
bother her so much? And, how can I
convince her It really isn't a problem?

’ A. Bravo that you are still inter-

ested in pursuing an active sexual

relationship! When a man loses his
erection, his partner thinks she is not
exciting enough for him. This isn't

tue. You know it and I know it. But.
she may not. You must reassure her
that the occasional loss of erection at;
your age is not unusual. It doesn’
mean you aren't excited by her
interested in satisfying her. If she;
can't accept this after hearing it from
your doctor and from me, she may not:
be the right woman for you. :

Q. My husband likes to talk about '
his fantasies while we are making
love. Is that normal? It bothers me

when he talks about having sex with
two women while he is making love |
to me. Sometimes he talks about the °
two of us being part of an orgy. Or he
describes things we have seen in-
X-rated videos. I am afraid he will:

“start asking me to do those things. Is:

that the natural progression — from ‘
fantasy to acting it out? And, if so,
what do I do to keep him in line as a >
normal husband? $
A. Everybody has sexual fantasies! :
Some people do like to talk about :
their fantasies to their partners. And, '
no, there is not a “natural progres- |
sion” from fantasizing to acting out. ;
He probably does not want to act out |

his fantasies. But he does become |
aroused by saying these things out |
loud to you.

Stop worrying! You should be
flattered that he feels secure enough
in your relationship to share’ his ’
fantasies with you. You don't say that |
he has ever asked you to participate -
in an orgy. So, I assume he has not.
What are you worried about then? }
This is harmless sexual daydreaming.
Why don't you invent some fantasies |
of your own and whisper them'to him -;
di lovemaking? fs
