On the Feast Day of St. Habakkuk it is traditional to consume foods 
reminiscent of calculi (counting-board pebbles).  Such are usually small,
hard and round.  Your grandmother's kreplach, ravioli, or wonton may
qualify.  Afterdinner mints can be used, and jellybeans are
especially popular.  Among software engineers aspirin are very common.
