A sweet little item. I'm sure this is Grandma's recipe for Sugar cookies. On the bottom there might also be something about saurkraut stew. This is difinately Grandma's writing. (Dad's Mother.) By the way her name was Helena. I don't know her middle name. Her maiden name was Weibe. By the way, at one point in my life I went to Grandma and asked her to give me the recipes for all of her wonderful baked stuff including sweibachs. (No idea how to spell that.) Sweibachs were a white roll. They were made by forming a ball about two inches in diameter. Putting that on the baking sheet. Then, making another ball of batter about half that size to put on top of the first ball. And, that's the way they were bakes and the way they came out. Oh, my God, they were good. When they weren't all eaten and maybe were going to go bad, she would put them on a tray and bake them until they were very hard. They they were used to dunk in their coffee. Anyway, when I asked Grandma to give me the recipes, I was ready with pencil in hand to write them down. Well, there was no way. You see, the measurements all were in terms such as "a pinch of this" "some of that."

I asked the same from Olga, and she said the same. There was no actual recipe, and there was a friendly rivalry betweem Olga and Grandma's sweibachs. I think the concensus by everyone, including Olga, that Grandma's were the best. I agree.
