...With 3 or 4 dozen or so each of sugar cookies (some frosted!) and gingersnaps, plus a blueberry lemon cheesecakey-type confection and cinnamon-sugared pecans. And there is that pound cake...
Mostly, they are gifts. (Especially the pound cake and gingersnaps -- those are for my grandparents. They will also get samplings of the other cookies and cake.)
The pecans were an attempt to satisfy my dad. He has been telling me pretty much since I made those spiced pumpkin seeds at Halloween that he wanted some spiced pecans. Okie-dokie. No problem.
What kind of spiced pecans?
"I don't know. Just some spiced pecans. I've had a recipe over here for a while."
Where?
"On this computer."
First I've heard of it...
But we print the page...and it's seven pages! There are at least a dozen, some spicy, some sweetly spiced, etc.
Which ones are you wanting?
"Any will do."
So I do some that are savory. "Not bad, but not what I was looking for."
Hrm. Okay... Next up. Cinnamon & Sugar.
"They're good...but not the flavor I wanted."
...
Well, what flavor did you want????
"Hot."
Hot. Okay. I can give you hot. I put in at least two tablespoons of cayenne. Black pepper. Tiger hot sauce and Jamaican Hell Fire (which, CRAP, I'm allergic to, and I ate some of the damn things!). Red pepper flakes. Some other stuff.
They seem to have little flavor to enhance the pecans, but they have heat. Lingering heat.
But it's probably not enough....
