	1]
	cookie (n.) \"small, flat, sweet cake,\" 1730 (Scottish); 1808
	(American English); the U.S. use at least is from Dutch koekje
	\"little cake,\" diminutive of koek \"cake,\" from Middle Dutch
	koke (see cake (n.)). Slang application to persons (especially
	an attractive woman) attested since 1920. Phrase that\'s the way
	the cookie crumbles \"that\'s the way things happen\" is
	attested by 1955.<br><br>
	2] cake (n.) early 13c., \"flat or
	comparatively thin mass of baked dough,\" from Old Norse kaka
	\"cake,\" from West Germanic *kokon- (source also of Middle
	Dutch koke, Dutch koek \"a cake, gingerbread, dumpling,\" Old
	High German huohho, German Kuchen \"a cake, a tart\"). Not
	believed to be related to Latin coquere \"to cook,\" as formerly
	supposed. Replaced its Old English cognate, coecel.<br><br>
	hat
	man, I trow ye raue, Wolde ye bothe eate your cake and haue your
	cake? [\"The Proverbs & Epigrams of John Heywood,\"

	xtended mid-15c. to any flat, rounded mass. From
	early 15c. extended to \"a light composition of flour, sugar,
	butter and other ingredients baked in any form.\" To take the
	cake \"win all, rank first\" (often ironic) is from 1847,
	American English; piece of cake \"something easy\" is from 1936.
	The let them eat cake story is found in Rousseau\'s
	\"Confessions,\" in reference to an incident c. 1740, long
	before Marie Antoinette, though it has been associated with her
	since c. 1870; it apparently was a chestnut in the French royal
	family that had been told of other princesses and queens before
	her.<br><br>
	3]� The name derives from the Turkish �Kurabiye�
	and it is made of flower, butter and sugar powder. The kourabie
	comes from the north of Greece and more specifically from the
	area of Kavala, a town in Northern Greece, is famous for making
	the best kourabiedes in Greece. Their secret lies within the use
	of butter made from buffalo which are an important product of
	the region.��<br><br>
	ourabiedes or Kourabiethes (Greek:
	????????????, singular: ??????????, kourabies) � also known as
	\"Greek Wedding Cookies\" � are Greek biscuits or cookie popular
	in Greece and Cyprus (and Greek communities in Anatolia), as
	well as across the Greek diaspora in the United States,
	Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and
	nations.<br><br>
	he thread connecting their unique quality,
	taste and flavor has been unraveling from Ancient Thrace � where
	Demophon, son of king Theseus married princess Phyllis � and the
	flowering almond tree as the symbol of love and hope that beats
	death. According to legend, the fruit of such a tree holds all
	the purity of the soul of a woman in love.�<br><br>
	4] biscotti
	(n.) 1990s, from Italian biscotti, plural of biscotto, from
	Medieval Latin biscoctum, literally \"twice-baked,\" from Latin
	(panis) bis coctus \"(bread) twice-baked;\" see bis- + cook
	(v.). Compare biscuit.<br><br>

	We make Kurabiye cookies(Kourabiedes in Greek) so very often.
	Earlier years was a must-make biscuit for weddings because of
	the white� icing sugar, we still make them at Christmas time
	again because of the white icing sugar (like snow ). Many women
	make them ( my mom included) all year around just to have
	something sweet at home because they become better and better as
	days passing by. Love them!

	(1300) ]�<br>
	1] Ramadan (n.): ninth month of the Muslim year,
	1590s, from Arabic Ramadan (Turkish and Persian ramazan),
	originally \"the hot month,\" from ramida \"be burnt, scorched\"
	(compare Mishnaic Hebrew remetz \"hot ashes, embers\"). In the
	Islamic lunar calendar, it passes through all seasons in a cycle
	of about 33 years, but evidently originally it was a summer
	month. From Arabic rama??n, from rama?a �be hot.��<br><br>
	or
	Muslims, fasting is not an act of penitence, but a method of
	self-purification, both physical and spiritual, as well as a way
	of showing solidarity with the needy. For many believers, it is
	also an asceticism that brings spiritual elevation and the
	collective affirmation of faith.�<br><br>
	n addition, Ramadan
	is also important in religious terms, because beyond the fast,
	it�s a month during which the Quranic revelation started. It was
	during the \"night of Destiny\", Laylat al-Qadr, that the Quran
	began to be communicated to the Prophet. The first day following
	the end of the month of Ramadan is Eid al-Fitr, or \"celebration
	of breaking the fast\". It is also known as \"Eid al-Saghir\",
	the Little Eid, as opposed to the other large religious
	festival, Eid al-Kebir (big Eid) or Eid al-Adha \"the festival
	of sacrifice\".<br><br>
	he month of Ramadan comes between the
	months of Sha�ban and Shawwal and is the only one in the Hegira
	calendar to be cited in the Quran. Surah (or chapter) II, dubbed
	\"genesis\", details its prescriptions over several verses<em>
	(these were also completed by the al-Sunna
	tradition).��</em><br><br><em>
	2]��fast (adj.)�Old English f�st
	\"firmly fixed, steadfast, constant; secure; enclosed,
	watertight; strong, fortified,\" probably from Proto-Germanic
	*fastu- \"firm, fast\" (source also of Old Frisian fest, Old
	Norse fastr, Dutch vast, German fest), from PIE root *past-
	\"firm, solid\" (source of Sanskrit pastyam \"dwelling
	place\").</em><br><br><em>
	eaning \"rapid, quick\" is from
	1550s, from the adverb (q.v.). Of colors, from 1650s; of clocks,
	from 1840. The sense of \"living an unrestrained life, eager in
	pursuit of pleasure\" (usually of women) is from 1746 (fast
	living is from 1745). Fast buck recorded from 1947; fast food is
	first attested 1951. Fast lane is by 1966; the fast track
	originally was in horse-racing (1934), one that permits maximum
	speed; figurative sense by 1960s. Fast-forward is by 1948,
	originally of audio tape.</em><br><br><em>
	ast (adv.)�Old
	English f�ste \"firmly, securely; strictly;\" also, perhaps,
	\"speedily,\" from Proto-Germanic *fasto (source also of Old
	Saxon fasto, Old Frisian feste, Dutch vast, Old High German
	fasto, German fast \"almost,\" but in earlier use \"firmly,
	immovably, strongly, very\"), from *fastu- (adj.) \"firm, fast\"
	(see fast (adj.)).</em><br><br><em>
	he meaning \"quickly,
	swiftly, rapidly\" was perhaps in Old English, certainly by c.
	1200, probably from or developed under influence of Old Norse
	fast \"firmly, fast.\" This sense developed, apparently in
	Scandinavian, from that of \"firmly, strongly, vigorously\" (to
	run hard means the same as to run fast; also compare fast
	asleep, also compare Old Norse drekka fast \"to drink hard,\"
	telja fast \"to give (someone) a severe lesson\"). Or perhaps
	from the notion of a runner who \"sticks\" close to whatever he
	is chasing (compare Old Danish fast \"much, swiftly, at once,
	near to, almost,\" and sense evolution of German fix \"fast,
	fixed; fast, quick, nimble,\" from Latin fixus). The expression
	fast by \"near, close, beside\" also is said to be from
	Scandinavian. To fast talk someone (v.) is recorded by
	1946.</em><br><br><em>
	ast (n.)�\"act of fasting,\" late Old
	English f�sten \"voluntary abstinence from food and drink or
	from certain kinds of food,\" especially, but not necessarily,
	as a religious duty; either from the verb in Old English or from
	Old Norse fasta \"a fast, fasting, season for fasting,\" from a
	Proto-Germanic noun formed from the verbal root of fast (v.). In
	earlier Old English f�sten meant \"fortress, cloister,
	enclosure, prison.\"</em><br><br><em>
	ast (v.)�\"abstain from
	food,\" Old English f�stan \"to fast\" (as a religious duty),
	also \"to make firm; establish, confirm, pledge,\" from
	Proto-Germanic *fastan \"to hold fast, observe abstinence\"
	(source also of Old Frisian festia, Old High German fasten,
	German fasten, Old Norse fasta \"abstain from food\"), from the
	same root as fast (adj.).</em><br><br><em>
	he original meaning
	in prehistoric Germanic was \"hold firmly,\" and the sense
	evolved via \"have firm control of oneself,\" to \"hold oneself
	to observance\" (compare Gothic fastan \"to keep, observe,\"
	also \"to fast\"). Perhaps the Germanic sense shifted through
	use of the native words to translate Medieval Latin observare in
	its sense \"to fast.\" The verb in the sense \"to make fast\"
	continued in Middle English, but was superseded by fasten.
	Related: Fasted; fasting.
