Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Cake Note:
To Toast Sliced Almonds, You Want To Be Very Careful And Leave Them In The Oven Only For A Few Minutes. Place Them In A Small Baking Pan In The Oven While It Preheats. Turn The Light On, And Watch The Almonds So They Don’t Get Too Brown—2 To 3 Minutes Is About Right.
