3. Roll out one dough portion on lightly floured pastry cloth with a
rolling pin covered with stocking or roll between sheets of lightly
floured wax paper to 1/8 -inch thickness. Cut out with cookie cutters.
Return dough to refrigerator if it gets too soft. Transfer to baking
sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Sprinkle with colored sugar
if desired.

wire racks to cool. Store in a covered tin.
This second-place winner, from Judy M. Drux of Dyer, Indiana, makes very
thin, crisp, delicate cookies. The dough keeps well in the refrigerator
if well-wrapped. This cookie was a tribute to her husband's grandmother,
Antonia Drux, who emigrated to this country from Germany in 1923. (Oma
means "grandma" in German.) The recipe has been passed down as just a list
of ingredients. Drux added a few hints to help make baking them easier
for future cooks. from the Chicago Tribune fourth annual Food Guide

Dieting tips
If you enjoy your food, but need to get thinner and better your all round physical condition, then, as most people know, you ought to eat a meticulously designed healthy-minded weight loss program. If possible, this need to contain 5 measures of fruit/vegetables a day and also involve an appropriate proportion of fat, carbs and proteins.
When people first start dieting, they ordinarily concentrate on chain store and well known products professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is ordinarily incorrect, in that a food item might be low in fat, but still high in carbohydrates.
In planning a meal plan, it is important to try to reduce intake of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.
