But what do I know? Of all the mysterious kitchen instruments that I remember from childhood, I think I liked the eggbeaters best, for their complicated gearing systems, and the seeming paradox of the ability of the blades to perpetually rotate within and around each other, without clashing or becoming entangled. Not as much fun as spatulas to lick icing from, though. The other thing I liked best was the small wooden rolling pin with the anamistic indentations for "Springerle" cookies, always a big hit around this time of year. No more syllabi for me for about six weeks now! The “sack” comes, I think, from the French “seche,” for dry. But what do I know?

I don't think they actually make real sack anymore, but you can buy "Dry Sack" branded sherries. Some of them are quite good. Oh, and you need to add a lot more than two fucken spoonfuls.
