"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
The following will make an interesting but very hard cookie: If a design on the top is desired, use a springerle board or springerle rolling pin after rolling out dough. Brush off excess flour, place on cookie sheet and let stand overnight. Bake at 350º for five minutes, reduce heat to 300º for 10 minutes until cookies are barely golden on the edges. Remove and cool.
