SC - lenkuchen

[Marilyn Traber]

I get a large tin chest of the stuff every year, and I wouldn't call it
particularly raised, in fact it is rather stolid and exercises the jaw quite
well. I don't think it would be possible to eat the stuff without dipping it in
coffee or cocoa first. Drats, now all of you will know where I get the neat tin
chests we carry feast gear in!
