McCarthy, Downers 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
