National Amaretto Day is observed on April 19 annually. Amaretto in Italian means "a little bitter" and is bitter almonds or apricot kernels or both. If no almonds are used, the marzipan flavor is produced by a combination of apricot kernel oil, burnt sugar and a variety of spices.

The widowed innkeeper was chosen, and the painting can still be viewed in the chapel ...
