In the early 50″s Helms made a breakfast roll that looked flat and round like a pizza. It was topped with a thick syrup and pecans. I would like to find the recepe for this if possible.
I believe this is what you’re looking for. This calls for a mass rectangular shape but it’ll work free-handing also, Yellow truck not included:
Cinnamon-Pecan Crisps
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, slightly melted
1 large egg, separated
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Cream sugar and butter. Add egg yolk. Beat well. Whisk the cinnamon into the flour and add to sugar/butter/egg mixture. Press dough in bowl until it holds together. Carefully spread out and press into a rectangle on ungreased cookie sheet. (14 in. x 9 in.) Beat egg white slightly and brush on cookie dough. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 275 degrees for 230 to 40 minutes–until lightly browned. Remove cookie sheet from oven, and cut rectangle lengthwise into 3 or 4 strips. Then cut each strip crosswise into 1 in. wide pieces. Remove the pieces from cookie sheet to cool. Make about 42 “crisps.” Tip: Place a sheet of waxed paper over the dough on cookie sheet, and use a rolling pin. It’s easier to get the dough thin and even.

If you’re looking or that quiet getaway on the Central California coast, consider Avila Beach, an idyllic little stretch of sand with comfortable accommodations nearby. Not that children would be unwelcome – Avila is a playground for all ages. But the new Avila Village Inn has now brought this destination up a notch or two for those seeking a special romantic beach getaway. The inn has pulled out all the stops to attract couples who want to pamper themselves as much as enjoy the natural beauties of the Central California coastline. About seven miles north of Pismo Beach the sign directs Highway 101 travelers to Avila Beach by way of a winding road that follows San Luis Creek down into a wooded ravine. About a mile before you get to the beach is Avila Village, a new development with condos, a few shops and, adjacent to the creek, the Avila Village Inn. While not actually on the beach, the inn’s wooded setting gives the property a quiet, reclusive feel. The developers of the hotel use the word “refined” to describe the many details and amenities that have been built into the 30 guest rooms. And our impression was that, indeed, this is one of those inns where you enjoy tasting the luxurious accommodations as much as experiencing the beach and other natural surroundings. This property has incorporated many of the design features now seen in newer upscale homes. Wet bars, granite countertops and fireplaces are in each room, while marble is used extensively throughout the shower and bathroom area. The pillow-top king beds both look and feel comfortable with down pillows, blankets and duvets. We especially enjoyed the 103-degree private spa waiting for us on our creekside balcony. If you’re so inclined, each room or suite has its own DVD player and guests are encouraged to check out free DVDs from the front desk. Those who are a little more active will welcome the fitness center that is just across the parking lot from the inn – perfect for working off those snacks, pastries and treats that are provided guests in both a welcoming basket and a breakfast basket the next day. Other details like tasteful art, mission-style furniture and a grand, sweeping staircase in the lobby area all add up to a sense of privilege – which, of course, is what it’s all about when you spend significant money to enjoy quality time with your loved one. A couple of minutes down the road from the inn is Avila Beach, a half-mile long beach area that is growing in popularity because of its more exclusive, almost Mediterranean feel. A few older hotels are situated near the beach, adjacent to some shops that are sprinkled throughout the tiny “downtown” area. There is evidence of new construction that we hear was made necessary from some oil leaks in the area; but the beach itself and the businesses along the beach seem unaffected. Avila Beach has three piers, including two that are public. It’s fun to walk out to the end of the pier where we enjoyed watching the surfers and dockside anglers while also taking in the spectacular views of the shoreline. There were only a few visitors enjoying the wide beach during our week-day January visit. Most people visiting seemed to be either couples, or college students from Cal Poly in nearby San Luis Obispo. From what we could see, Avila is perfect for getting away from people – although one suspects that might change on weekends and during summer months. But even with balmy 75-degree weather, we still felt like we’d stumbled across some small, little-known beach village somewhere in the Mediterranean. It was so deserted that it was hard for us to imagine that more than 28,000 people live in Avila Beach. All we can figure is that most must live well outside the few blocks adjacent to the beach. A larger, busier beach is just south of Avila at Pismo Beach. The views from Pismo Beach are spectacular and this horseshoe shaped beach seems to stretch on for miles and miles. It’s readily apparent that this isn’t the kind of beach where all you do is sit and soak up the sun; ATV and bike rentals are popular, as is sea kayaking and surfing. You can ride horses here or golf – this area is a favorite with retirees who make sure those golf courses get good and used — while fishing from the Pismo Pier also is popular. Just up from the pier is the downtown area – much bigger than the Avila Beach shopping area – where you can find a collection of shops and a choice of restaurants. Beyond this tourist area, Pismo Beach takes on the look of most any other town, although there is a high percentage of homes that are cottage-like and probably once used as vacation getaways. Driving around Pismo we discovered several beach access points, each with its own set of breathtaking views. These are great places to view the power of nature; during our visit, the surf along Pismo was pounding so hard it seemed as loud as a freight train. Another diversion while you’re visiting the Avila-Pismo Beach area is, of course, San Luis Obispo. We made a point of visiting the downtown area and found an excellent selection of shops and outdoor cafes, yet a home-town feel that made for a comfortable afternoon of browsing and exploring. It’s in San Luis Obispo that you’ll find the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, one of California’s historic missions. You can visit the padres’ residence, which is now a museum. San Luis Obispo is actually the hub for this area – a diverse region that has an incredible 100 wineries all within a short distance, and of course great beach communities. There are actually two distinct wine regions in this area – the San Luis Obispo region where the cool climate and marine sediment are conducive to growing Chardonnay grapes and, in the north, the Paso Robles region where the hot summers and limestone help grow the best zinfandels and rhone varietals. But then again, many visitors to the Central California coast are content to keep a low profile, perhaps traveling as far as the beach and a good dinner before returning to a cozy fireplace and soft music. Those are the visitors, no doubt, who will find Avila Beach and the new Avila Beach Village Inn, especially rewarding. AT A GLANCE WHERE: Avila Beach is about 200 miles north of Los Angeles and just north of Pismo Beach. WHAT: Avila Beach is an alternative to more expansive beaches and has a quieter, more exclusive feel. Only a few hotels are in the immediate area, although many more are located in nearby Pismo Beach. WHEN: The area has a moderate climate year-round. Summer can be hot at times, but is generally temperate. Winter is on the cool side. The area gets about 24 inches of rain per year. WHY: Scenic, charming and seemingly remote, yet only a few miles from shopping and restaurants in nearby cities. HOW: For more information on the Avila Village Inn, call the hotel at 805-627-1810 or visit www.avilavillageinn.com.

Eat Edit Etc presents: The Guava and Cheese Pastry
I'm trying to get my sweet gourmet market, what questions should I ask a food broker before hiring?
Or, does anyone have views on how and where to find good food brokers in Southern California (Los Angeles)?
With so many unions in your state, I suggest try to work with one of them … distrubution capacity would be less expensive for you if you have to do it yourself because the initial costs for development (trucks, drivers, fuel, etc) and inflate the costs of the pastry over the fair market value.
If you are lucky to have a grandmother, which probably comes with grandma-isms (or nana-isms). In my case, baba-isms – phrases my grandmother uses over and over again. For example, every time you meet someone from my Russian grandmother who speaks English and I am standing, I said proudly, "She's my number one granddaughter. "You could be her surgeon or her butcher.
Sometimes you get a bonus of luck and your own custom hippie-ism. Reserved exclusively for you – from the lips of Baba in their ears only. Mine was: "You … you do not worry."
It was not until Baba was diagnosed with cancer colon that I realized exactly what he meant. Almost at the same time I realized that I never worry baba.
As one of the strongest women I've met Baba took a life that spans three continents and the difficulties of performance worthy of an Oscar. Baba was prepared to give an "at your age" story that was sure to compensate everyone. But his performance has never been too dramatic – just dictating the minutes of his life to a reporter.
An orphan at seven in the former Soviet Union, has suffered a famine, a world war and the death of his teenage unmarried sister. But Baba is a fighter and keeps the mantra that all is well.
Baba is a great business woman of another generation, with a keen sense of maps and species. When all the world was 175 million rubles per month in the factory, Baba took a second job to wash the curtains in the bath. Pull up a solid $ 350 rubles per month, baba always go out and something else.
So no, I do not care baba.
Baba was the first in our family to emigrate to the United States and the reason I live in New York (eternal thanks for that one!) is a famous cake maker, my baba. And when I say glory, I mean the range of Brighton Beach. Step in the internationally renowned bakery and order cake Kiev. Tell them you are the granddaughter Maya. Back!
And Brooklyn to Bakersfield, baba knows someone everywhere. Far beyond the Hudson River, baba has friends everywhere. Los Angeles, Cuba, Springfield Calgary. Wherever you go anywhere, you have a friend there. Or know someone that movement. Or a friend with a who lives there. And they all come with a descriptive history.
Baba heard the stories of each. You can imagine what happens when someone who knows everything the world puts his hand on each other's stories. Let's say if you ever want to spread a rumor of law, baba is old school viral marketing.
Seven years ago Baba underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm who knowingly walked the last decade. When the pressure of the aneurysm was going blind, he agreed to surgery brain. He was 5 months before the grandchild was getting married and she would not be able to see here the granddaughter as a bride. This surgery, which is considered moderately complex 10 years earlier, had already earned a level of difficulty from very complicated. But Baba was not worried. She had faith that would be fine.
Also it was then that I realized that after thanking God a lot. Three weeks after surgery at home the first day of the hospital, driven by nurses health baba home to home. Apparently, she knew not how to make tea.
Baba is a step mapquest. Wherever you are driving, she knows how to get there. Not to cast doubt on his keen sense of navigation, it's just that the number on the road. "Are you taking 80 or 64 … because I Like 80. It is much more environmentally friendly. "
PD: baba do not, is always present that the driver's front seat. It is nauseating in the back seat so when Baba gets into the car, which should be in the front seat. Taxis are no exception.
So life has not always been easy for baba. But he was served with the life of an exclamation point, with all #@$$#%$^%& between them. His life has been up and down and rough and hard and full tears and joy and love. It is a life full of stories and the strength and survival and faith and family. Live the life, the star of an extraordinary saga that is his alone. It is a life that made my baba who is … and has made my granddaughter, who does not care Never.
A cake baker, a custodian of history, a driver's license compass. No, never worried about my baba.
When my grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer last month, all have shown some reaction of books text. My mother completely in denial, cursing the doctor sent for the first colonoscopy. My uncle shifted into the mode of action – Medical Commander operation. I was one generation removed, no power in the decision process and sit in the back seat at ease.
Then reacted in a way that was foreign to my reaction repertoire. I felt a sense of faith. Not necessarily in the religious sense, but in the sense of force. I have faith in life. For those 78 years, still has plenty to hippie life, stories to tell, grandchildren know and give baba-isms.
To put it bluntly – I think this Baba Russia can kick in the rear of cancer.
