ASSOCIATION
From the Editor’s Desk David Jolovitz, Editor With an issue that is, once again, chock full of updates from the HOA Events Group, the Board of Directors, various committees, and resident contributors, the CB Times remains a significant medium for community news.
In the Loop I would like to showcase three services from outside the community that are available to Corte Bella residents. The first is Helping Hands, which is part of the Sun City West Foundation. If
you check the Helping Hands web site (www.scwfoundation.org/helpinghands.html) you will find assorted medical equipment that can be borrowed, such as canes, crutches, exercise bikes, etc. The loans are for 90 days, but it can be extended if necessary. They also have children’s equipment available for 30 day usage. An example of Bob Rosenberg, Vice President, Board of Directors
these items would be gates, high chairs, cribs, etc. There is no charge involved, but if you choose to give a donation I’m sure it would be appreciated. The second helpful service is the Culture Pass which is available at select libraries throughout the Valley. You must have a library
Be Prepared! COMPLETE LIVING TRUST $395 Already have a trust? It may need updated to comply with new Arizona statutes. Call for a free review and low cost updates.

Furthermore, if staying connected, staying involved, or staying active appeals to you, keep reading: we’ve spilled a good deal of ink in this issue covering sports groups at Corte Bella, car enthusiast groups, charity drives, and volunteer opportunities. To all, a happy October … and good reading! card to get a culture pass and the number of passes per month is limited in those libraries. Peoria, Glendale, and Phoenix libraries have these passes, but Surprise doesn’t at the present time. The pass admits two people to a number of museums, the Phoenix Zoo, the Botanical Gardens among other places in the general area. You can find the details on line at www.theculturepass.org. There is no cost for admission to these facilities when you use the culture pass. The passes are good for seven days and you can check out two culture passes each month. Better yet: The culture passes can be applied to the higher admission. For instance, if there are two adults and two children present, you would apply the culture pass toward the purchase of the two adult tickets. And finally, let’s talk about a convenient offer by the Sun City West Fire Department that may make life easier at home for those who are “ladder shy.” The fire department will change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for no charge and will supply the batteries if they have any on hand. If they don’t have a supply, you will have to supply the nine volt battery. They will also replace the detectors if they fail. A wired detector is $36 and a battery detector is $26. They will also come out to check the detectors if you aren’t sure if the detectors are failing or need batteries. The service is provided by volunteers, some of whom were former fire fighters and EMTs -- and Corte Bella residents. Their web site is www.scwfire.org.

Board Talk
Welcome Back – to a New Season and All It Brings It’s that time of year: welcome back to our seasonal residents and congrats to those who survived the heat, monsoons, and everything else an Arizona summer has to offer. By now, everyone has received the SCP survey that hopefully many have answered. Your Board wants and needs Regina Shanney-Saborsky, Secretary, Board of Directors your input; we function better with knowledge and information. Two areas which, in my opinion, could use a bit more focus are communications and community interest—both are integral to our lifestyle, our community’s well-being and our future. So I invite you to consider your involvement with existing or newly-formed committees and to share your thoughts with the Board directors. After all, our community is what we make of it.
Communications continues to expand. With Board minutes now providing more information, the Board is trying (once again) to facilitate telephonic attendance at meetings and monthly director columns in the CB Times, but we are still seeking ways to improve. One upcoming project—which will be undertaken by the new Government Affairs Committee—is a newsletter concerning information on various projects/issues beyond our gates, but which impact our community, including: EPCOR, APS, solar developments, and transportation issues.
Kudos Korner CB Times Editorial Staff As mentioned in last month’s newsletter, this Kudos Korner column looks to keep you up-to-date on the efforts of our many volunteers—and the selfless work they do to make our country club lifestyle enjoyable. This month, we say thanks to our team of CB Volunteers who worked together over a four year period to bring us those highly successful HOA events you have come to enjoy. Though officially retired from coordinating HOA events, many of these dedicated volunteers continue to work within the community in other areas of support. Kudos to all of them.
But, over the years, there has been one prevailing problem: rumors seem to take root and grow like weeds. No matter what is done, how much is communicated, or in what manner—misconceptions continue. So, if you hear contradictory pieces of information, ask your Board members.
Community interest. We all want the community to be well maintained, from plantings to painting, from dog “drops” to weeds. We want home prices to rise and utilities to stabilize. And while there is a staff to handle general issues and day-to-day maintenance, it is just not enough to do everything. With this said, volunteerism helps immensely. Are you concerned with drought resistant plants? If so, ask ARC if you can be one of the volunteers to augment the plant list with Arizona friendly trees and plants. Are you concerned with rising utility rates? Join the Government Affairs Committee and provide up-to-date information to the Board and the residents so that we can be proactive, not reactive. Concerned for the future of our community? Attend Strategic Planning Meetings and be part of the process. Is maintenance a major concern? Consider the Building & Grounds Committee. Do you have an interest in something which is not yet addressed by a committee? Volunteer to organize the project and address the issue. Do something, do anything, except sit and complain. Be part of the answer, not part of the problem. Your Board is seeking solutions. Join us, won’t you?

Strategic Community Plan (SCP) Status
Your Strategic Community Plan (SCP) Team met twice during the summer, and after a lot of coordination and fine tuning, completed defining contents of the SCP Survey. Paper copies of the survey were mailed to all residents on Jim Williams, President, Board of Directors August 24, 2013; a digital version of the survey was activated online on August 25.
As of September 26, 395 homeowners submitted their surveys online, and another 605 homeowners elected to mail their
surveys to the HOA office. By the time you read this, the survey gathering and owner verification process will be completed, and evaluation will commence. A summary report should be available to the community around the third week in October. Survey results will be used by the SCP Team at their next meeting on November 5 to help define the Vision and Mission Statements, and time permitting, some of the goals. Hope to see you there! And, thanks for your overwhelming support during the survey phase.
Some Thoughts From ARC Regina Shanney-Saborsky, Board Liaison First, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) would like to thank everyone who offered to become a volunteer and assist in the inspection process. It is much appreciated. Secondly, the committee would like to clarify some misconceptions which may be circulating regarding ARC’s role in the community. ARC reviews residential requests for exterior modifications to properties based on the Design Guidelines. Once a project is approved, then completed, ARC will “inspect” the finished project to verify that it complies with the approved plans. Violations are a separate matter—an on-going process—and are handled by the HOA. Non-compliance with the Design Guidelines will result in a violation. As always, if someone is aware of a
violation, a report can be filed with the HOA (who will investigate), but, whether the violation is reported by ARC or by a resident, the HOA will disclose the name of the individual making the report if so requested by the resident who is in violation. Also, many violations are the result of residents not requesting ARC approval. Basically, they just ignore the process. While the HOA and the committee will work with residents and their professional advisors if questions arise, neither can force a resident to comply with the procedures instituted for approval or adhere to the provisions of the Design Guidelines, as approved by the Board. The committee is open to any and all suggestions for improvements in these procedures and welcomes resident questions. Please be proactive.
Wanted: Volunteer for Online Classified Ads One of the most popular features on the Corte Bella website (located at CorteBella. net), is the Classified Ads section. Now, here’s your chance to help out! The CB Web Team is seeking a volunteer (or two) able to dedicate six to ten hours each month to manage our online classifieds. This popular service has been available to the community on the Association site for six years and counting, and sees an average of 56 ads posted each month. The current
volunteer in charge of the classifieds is filling in temporarily until October, so a long term replacement is needed; training will be provided and other current volunteers will provide assistance as needed. If you are interested in this opportunity, or have any questions regarding this service, please contact the Communications Manager, David Jolovitz, at (623) 328-5068, ext.225, or at DJolovitz@cortebellacca.com

Ask Agnes: Fall Cleaning Tips Yeah! Fall is here; time to begin the most beautiful time of the year in Arizona—the time between the end of one monsoon and the beginning of the next. Back from summer vacation? Home from your travel to other parts of the world? Getting the house open after a time of vacancy? Here are some tips to get everything ‘ship-shape’ before the fall season. Go from room to room with a notebook and write down what needs to be done. List everything whether it’s dusting walls, washing or dry-cleaning window treatments (sometimes a cool cycle in the dryer will do). Do the baseboards need washing? Do the carpets need cleaning, or will vacuuming do? Just concentrate on one room at a time. Start with an easy one; maybe the spare room. Hopefully, you will develop a system and gain momentum. By doing one room at a time the entire house doesn’t have to look torn-up. Remember, if it’s not dirty, don’t
clean it! Clean the room top to bottom circling from left to right so you don’t miss anything. Cross things off the list as you go. Larger rooms like a kitchen might require an entire weekend. This might also be a good time to go through cupboards and remove the things you didn’t use last year; you probably don’t need them anymore. A charity donation bin is an excellent place for used housewares. As you move throughout the house, consider closets and drawers and take time to purge things you haven’t worn during the past year. Cover your out-of-season clothes with a sheet to keep them clean. I’ve found that many summer clothes don’t make it to a second season (T-shirts and tops get pretty worn from just one season of wearing and washing. Styles and colors change, too). Remember: Don’t set impossible goals for yourself. Try to enjoy the Zen moment of what you are doing.
The Inspiration to Pay it Forward Stan and Gail Peskin are proud Corte Bella residents, who through their donations to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, have opened up a world of possibilities for other dog owners. The following is reprinted with permission from Veterinary Report, the alumni magazine of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. Toby was Stan and Gail Peskin’s little boy with fur. So when Crohn’s disease recently took the little Yorkshire terrier’s life, the Peskins decided they must do something big to keep his spirit alive.
The five-pound pup was a world traveler and animal shelter ambassador. He flew on airplanes, sailed on boats and rode Chicago’s elevated transit. “He liked to go, go, go!” Gail Peskin said. :As long as he was with us, we were all happy.” Although the Peskins miss Toby dearly, they are comforted by their decision to donate in his honor. The Illinois veterinary college was one of their first considerations because Stan Peskin is a Chicago native and his mother earned a bachelor’s degree at the Urbana campus in 1935. “We researched the top veterinary schools in the United States and felt that the U of I was a leader in research and clinical studies,” Stan Peskin said. “Toby was our best friend, who we would like to remember and have his memories live on.” Picture of Toby provided.
The Arizona couple chose to donate in Toby’s memory to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. Their gift funds research involving vitamin D levels in dogs with inflammatory bowel disorders similar to Crohn’s. It is hoped that the gift will help other projects as well.
***
“It has been said that there is a potential for every life to change the life of others,” Gail Peskin said. “Perhaps a new door will open for potentially thousands of canines through this research.”
On Saturday, November 2, the Peskins will have a table set up at VolkStock—a dog- and kid-friendly car show and animal adoption drive—held from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., where raffles and special prizes will be offered. The event, which drew in more than 2,500 attendees last year, will be held at Sheely Farms at 99th Ave. and McDowell Rd.
Toby , nearly 16 years old when he died, unquestionable changed the lives of the Peskins for the better.
The Peskins will be holding an all-day fundraiser in Toby’s honor on Wednesday, October 30 at the Subway Restaurant on Happy Valley Rd. and Lake Pleasant Pkwy. in Peoria (24920 N Lake Pleasant Pkwy #102).

France with Friends Robin Mandell
Photo credit: Mike Biggs
Followers of this magazine have read that some of your Corte Bella neighbors have been traveling together the last few years – both domestically and internationally. In August, 38 of us (plus 7 friends who don’t live in the community) gathered in France for a 12-day adventure that covered three big cities, several small villages, a jaunt down the Saone and Rhone rivers, 8 UNESCO world heritage sights, and a total of about 600 miles. We saw and learned a lot! The weather was absolutely perfect, too—not too hot, not too cold, and no rain. Grand Circle River Cruise Line was named this year in Conde Nast Traveler magazine as the top river cruise company, and the ship Provence was named the #1 river cruise ship in the world. That’s a lot to uphold. I think it is fair to say that all of us would agree with the ratings! From our arrival in Paris, our Program Director Jean-Philippe (aka JP) took us under his capable wings, showing us around and ensuring we were all settled into the hotel. We had an overview tour of Paris, and I, for one, must say that the city is looking lovely. It is cleaner and the people are much friendlier than years ago. The famous landmarks of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Opera House, Notre Dame, etc. are looking pretty spiffy. In the afternoon we toured the worldrenown Palace of Versailles, and now have a good understanding of why there was a revolution! The decadence is beyond comprehension. Several of us then visited Giverny, the home and studio of Impressionist painter Claude Monet. JP had the foresight to have us arrive before the regular tourist hours, and we had the gardens, house, and studio to ourselves! The gardens were in full bloom—breathtaking. There was one long day on the bus going southeast to Macon, with a stop in Burgundy’s capital city of Beaune. L’Hotel-Dieu
was a hospital set up in the 1400’s; it was fascinating to learn how the poor were cared for with such dignity and in relative comfort so long ago. We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations aboard our ship the Provence. I say “our” because our group of 45 passengers filled the whole ship. It was like having our own yacht as the Provence is about 30% of the size of larger river cruise ships. Cabins were about 200 sq. ft., with sitting areas and huge, nicely tiled bathrooms. Up top there were lots of comfortable chairs to view the world floating by. Then we met the crew! Only 14 people in total looked after us, and with real enthusiasm and skill. They got to know all of us right away, “Your regular egg white omelet today?”; “Another white wine?” It was a real pleasure spending seven nights on board, and really fun having friends and neighbors to share the experience with. Our stops: small towns of Trevoix and Oingt in the Beaujolais wine region; France’s second largest city of Lyon, with its fabulous Sunday market and old Renaissance streets; small but enchanting Viviers; the Popes’ city of Avignon; dramatic Baux de Provence; and the Roman city of Arles. From there we took a bus over to the gorgeous Cote d’Azur for one last night in Nice. France is a large country, but having such a wonderful guide help us to learn and discover so much about the land and the people was truly a memorable experience. One special event for a lot of us was a chance to have dinner at a French family’s home in the small town of Tournon. That was a special cultural exchange— seeing how folks live and dine in their own homes. We left having felt we made news friends; it opened our eyes to another way of life far from Corte Bella.

Interest Groups
The Perfect Pairing CB Times Editorial Staff
New CB Interest Group Formed “We had all the essential components right here in our community, so it was a natural to pair them together and create our new CB Interest Group, Wine and Dine International,” said Roberta Rials, chairperson and group founder. “We have planned our events to take advantage of Anacapa’s first-rate chef, our private dining room, wonderful wait staff, our creative friends who have a broad background in specialty cuisine, and various wine suppliers who give us access, not surprisingly, to a world of wine,” Rials said. The idea to create an interest group with a focus on fine dining sprang from the support and continual demand for similar events that Rials and her team presented to the HOA community over the past four years. The inaugural event, Wine Pairing Dinner – Wines of Washington State, was held
on June 3. Wine and Dine with Chef Dan quickly followed in July and featured Chef Dan giving a hands-on demonstration for preparing specialty sauces to be served with fresh fish. All paired, of course, with fine wines. Soon after the September event was announced, Wine and Dine with Chef Dan – Italy at Home, a series of cooking demonstrations at the heart of Italian Cooking, the response for tickets was so overwhelming, that Chef Dan and his team duplicated the event for a second sell-out crowd the following evening. “This may never happen again, but Chef was willing and the night was available, so we went for it,” Rials said. Future events will include gourmet dinners, a beer tasting Oktoberfest, a formal wine dinner with dancing, cooking/ dining presentations with Chef Dan, and Wine Makers events featuring specialty wines not generally available to the public. “With the added talents of MaryAnn Bradley and Janice Aiken, our membership
list has exploded. It is fantastic to work with two amazing ladies who think ‘out of the box.’ Together, we will continue to strive to present the very best in dining and entertainment to our community of friends,” Rials said.
Of Interest: Area Clubs Clubs for Mazda Miatas, Other Convertibles
After last month’s Cool Cars segment featured several Mazda Miatas (pictured with their tops down in front of the Anacapa Restaurant), the Times received several inquiries about a club for owners of these cars. While there is, unfortunately, no club exclusive to Miatas at Corte Bella, there is some good news: The Corte Bella Drop-Toppers is a club open to owners of convertibles—one that meets monthly for trips to interesting places throughout Arizona. Contact Jackie Gnagi for more information at jsgnagi@sbglobal.net. There is also the Sahauro Miata Club, with over 125 members spread out over southern Arizona from Prescott to Casa Grande. This club sponsors two drives a month for its members and they range all over the state. The club president, Ray Valle, lives at Corte Bella, and you may reach him at: RnMValle@cox.net. For more information, log on to www.sahuaromx5club.com.
The group hosts a variety of social events and seminars that may be of interest to Canadians living in Arizona, including a breakfast “get together” on the first Thursday of each month. The first breakfast of the fall season will be held on November 7 at 9:00 A.M. at Archie’s Deli, located at 15332 Bell Rd. in Surprise. For more information about the club, visit their website at www. canclub.ca.
Canadians, Past and Present, in Corte Bella There is a group in Corte Bella of Candians -- past and present -- who spend time right here in Arizona. The group gets together monthly during the fall, winter, and spring for happy hours at the Anacapa. The group also attends hockey games and pot luck dinners. If you are interested in subscribing to the mailing list, contact Robin Mandell at RMandell@Cox.net.
Canadian Club of the West Valley True to its name, the Canadian Club of the West Valley holds social events for Canadian snowbirds living in the area … and their friends.

Calling all Golf- “hers” Sue McVey and Allie Bowling What does CBRGG stand for? Are you stumped? Well, let us tell you about Corte Bella Ready Golf Girls, better known as RGG. We are an 18-hole golf group that plays courses in and around Sun City West. Our group is open to women who do not belong to a golf club—or to those who do belong but are seeking additional opportunities to play golf. The objective of RGG is to have fun playing golf and promote a positive social culture. We do this in many ways, with one of the most popular being monthly Happy Hours where husbands and significant others are included. These events are held in members’ homes. The past few years, at our December Happy Hour we’ve collected food donations for the St. Mary’s Food Bank of Surprise. We’ve also participated in Rally for the Cure golf events. One of the highlights of the year has been our overnight golf trip where the focus is on golf, fun, food, and friendship! RGG began with just seven members and became a formal group in April 2006, when the first roster of nine members was
generated. Today, our roster lists upwards of 50 members, with all of our members being residents of Corte Bella. Members are of all skill levels and are required to have a Sun City West recreation card. Members of RGG are made up of both Arizona Women’s Golf Association (AWGA) members and non-AWGA members. Thursday is the scheduled day of play. Tee Times vary by availability. RGG’s annual dues are $10.00 and do not include AWGA membership. For additional information, contact president, Sue McVey at (623) 214-0901.

Golf Course Update Brandon Williams, Superintendent, CB Golf Greetings. It’s hard to believe, but summer has passed and the time to overseed is here. This is the time of year when we prepare our playing surfaces to enable us to plant our winter ryegrass for the season. The golf course will close on October 7 and re-open on October 25. Golf members and residents: please be aware that during the first few days of closure, we will be mowing and cultivating the Bermuda grass to create a proper seed bed for the Rye grass. You will likely see dust and grass clippings floating around throughout the hole or area where my team is working. Please use caution when using your patios for that brief period of time. Once planted, the ryegrass will take five to seven days to germinate, and then we begin to encourage its growth and prepare for play. We have had an amazing summer on the golf course; all turf areas filled in well and we have had some fantastic conditions for August and September. We look forward to the return of our winter members and residents, and also to the return to lush, green conditions for the winter golfing season. “Don’t just live Corte Bella, play Corte Bella.” For membership information, contact the golf club at (623) 474-3612.

Corte Bella Cooks Corte Bella Cooks is a new monthly feature at the Times that highlights different residents’ recipes—each, set to a backdrop, or story, of personal significance. If you’d like to get involved, residents are encouraged to submit their recipes (and stories) to EvieNSE@aol.com.
Corte Bella Resident, Emilie Tipton Emilie Tipton and John Eakins moved to Corte Bella late in 2009, splitting time between here and Byron, Minnesota, where they have lived together for 24 years. John was a programmer and manager at IBM in Rochester, Minnesota, for 29 years, retiring in 1997. He worked a bit after that helping to build cabinets in a shop in Pine Island, MN. Emilie owned a small grocery and meat market in Mantorville, MN, for 17 years. She has also been a waitress at several restaurants before and after the grocery. She made and sold bratwurst at the store, and loves to cook at home. Emilie and John would both rather have a meal at home than in a restaurant, although it is nice to get out for a change.
In Her Words: About My Love of Lebkuchen Lebkuchen is a traditional German Christmas treat somewhat reminiscent of gingerbread. They were first made by monks in Franconia, Germany in the 13th century. Lebkuchen bakers were recorded as early as 1296 in Ulm and 1395 in Nürnberg (Nuremberg). All types of Lebkuchen are exported from Nürnberg, but Elisen Lebkuchen are considered the epitome of Lebkuchen. *** My childless aunt and uncle lived in the Lebkuchen capital of the world: Nürnberg (Nuremberg in English. My parents settled in Mannheim, which did not have the importance of Nuremberg, the latter situated in the center of the universe of olden days. There are still four gates in the meter-thick wall which circles the old town. Travelers from Amsterdam paid their taxes at the north gate, from Verona at the south gate, from Prague at the east gate, and those from Paris paid at the west gate. I loved visiting there because the old town reminded me of a story-book land. Every Christmas my uncle would purchase an assortment of Lebkuchen at the bakery where he worked. It specialized in Lebkuchen and sent them around the world. The Haeberlein und Metzger Bakery has been in business since the 1600s. Our Lebkuchen arrived on Christmas Eve even when they were sent many years later to me in Minnesota. When I was a child, my mother put the delectable Lebkuchen on a Christmas-decorated plate for each of us children on Christmas Eve night. Then she put them on our night stands so that we would see them first thing on Christmas morning. My favorite were the Elisen Lebkuchen.
Once when visiting my Tante Vefi in Nuremberg, I asked her how to make Elisen Lebkuchen. I had learned a lot about baking from her husband who was a master baker, and Tante made a great Bienenstich. But she told me, “Elisen Lebkuchen are to be left to the professionals.” Now that there is no one to send me Lebkuchen, I decided to try my hand at it.
Elisen Lebkuchen Measurements are first in weight and then the equivalent dry measure because weight is much more accurate. So if you have kitchen scales, measure by weight. Ingredients: •
1 lb+ (2 heaping C.) sugar
•
6 large eggs
•
1/2 tsp each cinnamon, cloves, coriander, allspice, nutmeg, & cardamom (vary if you like any of them more or less)
•
1/2 tsp vanilla
•
1/2 lb+ (1 heaping C.) Hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, or walnuts, coarsely chopped
•
1/2 lb+ (1 heaping C.) finely ground hazelnuts
•
2 oz.- (just shy of 1/4 C.) coarsely chopped walnuts
•
(Nuts total: 1 lb. 3 oz. or just shy of 2 1/2 C.)
•
3 1/2 oz.(3/8 C.) ea. finely chopped candied orange & lemon peel

Oblaten baking wafers (50mm or 1 3/4 - 2 1/2 in.)
Sugar glaze: Apply when still warm
Oblaten is a thin, almost tasteless, white wafer. But it is also a type of thin, round cookie. That is what comes up most frequently on the internet whenever I search for Oblaten. But you can find these wafers in stores that sell German baking ingredients. Some people use communion wafers and rice paper as a substitute. If you cannot find them, the instructions for applying the icing will tell you what to do instead. Lebkuchen, however, stick terribly to the baking sheet or parchment paper without the Oblaten wafers.
Chocolate glaze: Let fully cool and brush coating on very thin. If you didn’t use baking wafers, you will need to first brush a coat of glaze on the bottom, let dry, and then brush the glaze on top of the Lebkuchen. Place half a blanched almond for decoration on each Lebkuchen. Let sit at least 10 days in cookie tin before eating. They will keep for several weeks in a sealed tin.
For the icing, either of these or 1/2 of each: 1. C. bittersweet, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate chips or pieces, melted and mixed with 4 – 6 tsp. coconut oil or coconut butter to smooth and thin. 2. C. confectioners sugar whisked with 4 tbsp. Water For decoration, halved blanched almonds
Preparation: For an extra nutty flavor, toast 1/2 of the nuts. Fine ground nuts: Use food processor to grind as fine as possible Coarse chopped nuts: Put whole nuts in food processor and pulse a few times. Candied peel: Pulse in food processor or finely chop by hand. Put all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Cover the bowl and put in refrigerator for a day. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper & lay out baking wafers. Scoop mixture, make smooth ball, press and flatten onto wafer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until Lebkuchen are lightly golden brown, but not fully done in the middle.
