Trying Valiantly To Gain Three More Pounds

I had an unfortunate encounter with marzipan when I was about 14 or 15, and to this day, I cannot stand the mention of the stuff.

But apparently it's now being made into mini-cheesecakes which are sitting in abundance on a platter in my kitchen. (We of course have the talents of Washington and Lee University's pastry chef at our full disposal, so we eat quite, quite well.)
