...first year friendships were cemented by a more indigenous delicacy. An entryway-mate brought over Darwin's buttercreams one afternoon. We broke off tiny pieces together, licked around the edges of the edges to scoop up the filling with the points of our tongues. The doughy chocolate cookies (almost very thin brownies) sandwich four major types of buttercream: raspberry, mocha, peanut butter and mint. Thick as icing, this cookie filling makes Oreo cream taste like Olestra. Since then, I've learned that the cookies come chilled but are better a little warm.

After the awarding of varsity and junior varsity letters and numbers, departing co-captains DEBBIE JACOBS and KATIE KELLEY gave out special honors to team members for their better splashes outside of the pool. Drawing the most laughter was one Kirkland House resident's present--a workout log book for Friday...
...golf. To Manfred J. Sobek, 42, marketing vice president for Simmons International Ltd.(they make their bread from beds), this means a Sunday afternoon baking Viennese Strietzel, a kind of raisin bread. Sobek, who lives in Scarsdale, N.Y., also confects German Christmas bread, French bread, succulent Austrian tarts with buttercream and apple strudel. By 1951, when he first arrived in the U.S. from his native Germany, he explains, "I had this tremendous feeling of nostalgia. Holidays in Europe are accompanied by a grand flurry in the kitchen and the great aroma of baking. I had to re-create that somehow...
