MOravian Spice Cookies.  Aren't they addictive?  Another thing on the before 
moving to do list is to go to Old Salem and enjoy them and sugar cake with a 
picnic on the village green. (sob!)

A web search on the correct spelling, or "Old Salem" or Salem, NC might find 
useful information.  My general knowledge is the cookies were brought to NC 
by a religious sect that originated in Moravia. The Moravian religion is 
still thriving in NC. I have Moravian friends that make the cookies and we 
were wondering a few days ago if they were always that thin, or if they have 
become thinner through the last 2 centuries.  A case of striving ever harder 
to meet ever rising standards?  It's all but impossible to roll them as thin 
as the expensive cookies in the red canister.  Last I heard, those were 
still not machine rolled, but the ladies that roll them have so much more 
practice at it than any of us will have.

Bonne
