"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
This makes a very fine textured shortbread - I guess because of the cornstarch and confectioner's sugar. I like this recipe better than the other shortbread recipe I put in this book - but they're both good. I just couldn't find this one until right before we printed the book!
