"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:
This recipe came from the Prairie Collection Cookbook. Mom gave me the cookbook while we were shopping at the Candleberry Crossing gift shop in Fargo back in 1987. It was put out by the Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra as a benefit. The illustrations are beautiful.
