    And it sounds like he is well deserving of the award. When will the
    winner be announced?

    Traditionally, right after Turkey Day (last week of November).

    Nice end of the year gift, and in time to make the annual holiday
    letter. (G)

    If he is selected he'll be the only one surprised.

    Another good looking recipe. I split a chocolate glazed KK today with Steve; it was good to hold off the chocolate cravings until after
    church but probabbly not as good as that doughnut.

    Glazed donuts are, to me, like cotton candy. Big, light, fluffy and
    when you take a - where is it? Bv)= Much prefer the cake style
    donuts.

    I knew Steve wouldn't want anything with sprinkles and the filled doughnuts would have been too messy to split so this filled ths spot
    quite well.

    Sprinkles are for kids and birthday celebrations..

    We've got a good number of kids in the church, also other folks that
    like sprinkles.

    I'll eat them if they're already there. But, I never use them as a "decoration". Althoough I have used dragees sometimes. The metallic
    balls of silver or gold colour which aren't edible. There is also an
    edible dragee which is *totally* different but could be used, also, as
    a decoration - and not have to be picked off lest one break a tooth.

    Dragee is a French word for a sugar-coated nut or a small silver-colored
    ball used as a decoration. A good start to the week - I've learned stuff
    I'd not kown before.

    Title: Dragee Pecans
    Categories: Five, Nuts, Spices, Candy
    Yield: 1 cup

    3 tb Granulated sugar
    1/4 ts Fine sea salt
    pn Ground cinnamon
    1 c (4 oz) pecan halves

    Combine sugar, salt and cinnamon in small bowl, and set
    aside. Place pecans in 10" nonstick skillet over low
    heat, and toss to heat through, about 2 minutes.

    Sprinkle sugar over pecans 1 teaspoon at a time, tossing
    to coat nuts, and toast (do not let sugar caramelize),
    about 30 seconds to a teaspoon of sugar. Nuts should
    remain dry and develop a sugar crust on both sides.
    Cool. Place in airtight container or sealable plastic
    bag until ready to use.

    That's always a good thing. I've never bought/used them for cake
    decorating, usually use just icing and sometimes some sprinkles.

    Gonna be some competition - a posthumous entry for Sam Montalbano has
    come in. He was a US army veteran, serving during the Korean War.Also
    he was a member of Little Flower Men's Club; Sangamon County Board;
    Teamsters #916, Boy Scout Troop #202; Breakfast for Friend-in-Deed;
    VFW 10302 and Sangamon County Inter Veterans Burial Detail.

    And never met a stranger. Bv)= He is missed by many.

    Whoever gets the award - it will be well deserved.

    Only non-edibles I ever put on cake have been plastic candlesticks
    for a birthday cake. Bv)=

    This ain't a birthday cake - but it's pretty good. And better yet - easy.
