"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:
I tried the raisin cookies on the recommendation of my uncle George. He had us try them at the Weavers bakery in Maryland. These are my favorite and this recipe is pretty close to it. Of course it is another coolie that involves work, but so worth it.
