Christmas Stollen (Quick-Bread Variety)
2 1/2 cup Flour (all-purpose)
2 tsp Baking powder
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Mace
8 each Cardomon seed pods, seeds
Removed and crushed
3/4 cup Almonds, blanched, ground
1/2 cup Butter, soft
1 cup Cream cheese, softened
1 large Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Almond extract
2 tbsp Brandy
1/2 cup Currants
1/2 cup Golden raisins
1/3 cup Candied lemon peel, chopped
1/4 cup Butter, melted
1/4 cup Sugar, powdered
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder,
sugar, salt, mace, and crushed cardamon seeds. Stir in the ground
almonds. Cut in the soft butter until the mixture looks something
like coarse sand. In a blender, cream the egg with the cream cheese,
vanilla, almond extract, and brandy. Pour it into a bowl and stir in
the dried fruit. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until everything
is is well blended. Work the dough into a ball and turn it out on a
lightly floured board. Knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth,
then place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. (You can
store the dough in the refrigerator for several days, then take it
out to bake when ever you like.) Shape the dough into a flat, oval
loaf, about 10 inches long and eight inches wide. With the blunt edge
of a knife, crease the loaf about 1/2 inch off center, down the
length of it. Fold the smaller side of the creased loaf over the
wider side. Brush the top of the folded loaf with the melted butter.
Place the stollen loaf on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for
about 45 minutes, until it starts to turn brown on the outside.
Remove and allow to cool a little bit. Dust lightly with powdered
(i.e., confectioner's) sugar. |

Advice on losing weight

In theory, this ought to incorporate five standard portions of fruit & veg each day and also require an appropriate mixture of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
When starting a weight loss program, dieters far too often direct their attention to department store and well known food products referred to as 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often foolish, insofar as a food may be moderate in fats, but still contain far too much carbs.
