 In italy we got many Christams cakes..Panettone, Pandoro

and so on..They all are difficult to bake..so i picked the easiest one ..

Torrone lol Torrone, otherwise known as nougat, is a concoction

 made from honey, well-whipped egg whites, vanilla, and walnuts or

almonds; it's an ancient sweet that requires considerable skill and

care to make well, and in the pastwas also a great favorite among

pastry chefs because it can be used as a building material for making fanciful cakes and other suchdelights.It's made

 throughout Italy, and Sicily's is especially renowned.

 Ingredients

1 2/3 pounds (700 g) honey

1 3/4 pounds (800 g) blanched, peeled almonds

1 3/4 pounds (800 g) sugar

4 egg whites

Rice paper or edible wafers of the kind used for baking

 Preparation:-

Preparing torrone at home is not easy; one needs exercise great care in the cooking, stirring the ingredients

 constantly to obtain a well-amalgamated mixture. Begin by cooking the honey for an hour over a double

 boiler, stirring constantly, until it has caramelized. In the meantime make a syrup with the sugar (you'll want

 three volumes of sugar to two volumes water),heating the mixture gently while stirring it constantly too lest it

 stick to the bottom of the pan. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, and add them, a little at a time, to the

 caramelized honey. Mix and continue cooking, directly over a low flame, stirring all the while. The honey will

 begin to expand and become frothy; continue mixing for a few more minutes and gradually incorporate the

 syrup, mixing well. Continue cooking and stirring, and when the mixture begins to tighten up and harden,

 incorporate the almonds. Mix thoroughly and turn the mixture into a pan, preferably square or rectangular in

 outline, that you have lined with wafers or rice paper. Cover the top of the torrone as well, and press down

 so as to level the torrone and press out any air bubbles that may have formed. When the torrone has cooled,

 turn it out onto a wafer-lined work surface, and use a sharp knife to slice it as you prefer. The best way to cut a crumbly

 torrone is toplace the knife blade on the torrone and tap it sharply with the other hand to obtainirregularly shaped chunks

 of torrone. Torrone shouldbe kept sealed in a cool dry place.

i like this song because it is easly the best song that i have

 ever  listened, some phrases of that are just poetry you are

 in my life like a train running towards me between my

 feelings and thousands if your look is a caress you can bring

 peace in my days,now you belong to me and i know it

 before my heart was colourless to love truely, that'll be

 forever these exemples are clear to undersrtan that this

 song

The love can be forever but it's possible that two persons

 can leave and live in different cities if they lived together

 only of happiness but love has to go forward
