"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:
Golda never came empty handed when she came to visit the grandkids. As our kitchen door would open we would hear a joyful, "hello" and her little metal market basket would appear with freshly baked kolaches. My cousin Marybeth uses the dough recipe and puts sausage inside instead of fruit. She folds over the dough with the (usually venison) sausage inside and bakes them. This recipe was dictated to Marybeth verbatim from Golda. I tried to update amounts but you may have to guess at some!
