Food Tip |
The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them. |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Eat little, sleep sound. |
| Iranian Proverb |
The woman just ahead of you at the supermarket checkout has all the delectable groceries you didn't even know they carried. |
| Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966 |
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
There is no sight on earth more appealing than the sight of a woman making dinner for someone she loves. |

These cookies require precision timing and fast action but the
results are worth the trouble. I make them for holidays and special
occasions, but they are delicious anytime.
Preheat oven to 350ø. Butter and flour baking sheet.
In a small, heavy pan, place all ingredients. Cook over low heat,
stirring constantly until butter melts. Drop by teaspoonful: onto
baking sheet (do not bake more than six at one time).
Bake at 350ø for 7-9 minutes. Cookies should be only slightly brown
and still bubbling at the center. Let cool only for a minute or so
until the edge is firm enough to lift with a thin spatula Then,
working quickly, lift cookies and turn them top side down onto paper
towels. Roll over the handle of a wooden spoon to get a cylinder
shape and let cool until crisp.
Use a fresh cookie sheet for each baking to avoid cookies sticking on
sheet. If cookies get too firm to roll over the spoon handle, place
back in the oven for a few moments.
Store cookies in an airtight cookie jar or tin. They will keep for a
long time, and can be made well ahead of the holiday season.
Variations: These cookies also can be left flat-make them smaller if
you do that; however, they don't have the flair of the rolled lacy
effect. Or roll ends of cooled cookies in melted chocolate.
