"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

To make Lace Roll-Ups:
While French Lace Cookies are still warm, roll onto a cylindrical shape. There is a magic moment when the lace cookies are cool enough to roll yet not so cool that they will break in rolling. Keep trying until you find that moment. If cookies do cool too much, return to the oven for a minute.

Mom would use cream horn cylinders.
