  My grandmother made Calzones? The chick pea concoction made 
  with honey and grated orange rinds (probably some cinnamon 
  and nutmeg)-- they were incredible. I think they were called 
  St. Joseph's Day Cakes? Do you have a recipe like this? 
  The chick peas were cooked and mashed. They were put into a 
  pastry shell made like a calzone.

  the street vendor carts labeled "nuts 4 nuts". There were 
  almonds, cashews, pecans, and coconut chunks

  saucepan over medium heat. 

  Add the nuts and stir often until water evaporates. Continue stirring
