Grove, Illinois, describes her impatient person's "I'm hungry" cookies:
"When I was a child, part of our Christmas celebration involved visits to
my father's relatives during the time between Christmas and Epiphany.
Great-Aunt Elizabeth came from a family whose women had been cooks for a
wealthy family in Hungary. As a result, her cooking was usually slightly
different and somewhat elegant. "A treasured memory of Christmas at
Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in
moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the
first things I would say upon arrival was, 'I'm hungry,' hoping that these
cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact,
began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any
other time we got together to celebrate." from the Chicago Tribune annual
Food Guide Holiday Cookie Contest December 4, 1986
