07 November 1492 - A FIREBALL 'OMEN' FALLS FROM THE SKY: A boy just
outside the walled village of Ensisheim, in what will one day be Alsace,
France, witnesses a huge fireball fall from the sky and plunge a meter
deep into a field. Locals, who view the meteorite as a good omen, will
chisel pieces of the stone for themselves until a local official orders
them to stop.

 While the cookies are baking, crush the waffles for
 sprinkles.

 Once the cookies are baked, make the icing. Put all
 the ingredients in a saucepan, put on low heat and
 bring to the boil, stirring.

 Quickly dip each cookie in glaze, stick them in pairs,
 roll in wafer crumbs. Done.
