Sometime back You gave me a praline recipe and said:

Short answer YES!!! I used a cup of brown sugar in place of one cup
of white and used almonds and also added cashews. They are just how I
remember them as a kid. Sinfully delicious. Here's a picture and the
recipe for anyone who missed it.

From Terry:

I found this basic recipe a while back, then dinked around until I was
happy with it. The "dinking" took the form of a) toasting the pecans
lightly, and b) I spoon the pralines onto an oiled cookie sheet, which
works much better than waxed paper. I also occasionally add a
tablespoon of rum or other liquer.

1 tsp. soda
1 c. buttermilk
3 c. sugar
1 c. butter
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp. white corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. pecan halves

Add soda to buttermilk. Mix sugar, buttermilk mixture, butter, salt
and syrup. Cook until it forms a rather hard ball when dropped into
water. Add vanilla and then pecans, and stir a short time. Cool
rapidly. Spoon pralines on waxed paper. Makes 22-48 pralines.

I'd love to know if you like the recipe as much as my family (and
co-workers) do.

OK, they don't have opposable thumbs - but why wasn't that movie

As Pigs have been too busy trying not to be cooked by humans they haven't
had time to learn to walk on two legs, well not yet anyway, they will after
they learn to fly.
Then on the other trotter, Apes are also too hairy to be added to humans
menu, and they're not trying to fly either, at least not that I'm aware of.
Then again, I haven't spoken to an Ape lately, have you? Come to think of it
i haven't seen an Ape talk to a Pig either. Not that it doesn't happen as
I'm assured they have a language called Apeoink. it goes something like
this, "heeeeheeeeoiiiiiiinnnnnk"

Kind regards

Thanks Koko. I wish my photos were as good as yours. My camera isn't
very good and I'm sure there's some operator error involved.

Well, you're welcome, aulde son. And if you like that one, you might
like a cookie recipe the family is crazy about that tastes a LOT like
pecan pie (secret twist: beat the cookie dough a little harder for a
little longer and it gets "cracklier"):

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Harris Ranch Pecan Drops

cookies

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 pounds coarsely chopped
pecan pieces
1/2 cup egg whites; 3 - 4 large eggs

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer,
combine
the brown sugar, salt, vanilla and pecan pieces. Beat on low speed to
incorporate the ingredients, then drizzle in the egg whites. Increase
the
speed to medium-low and beat for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the
sides of
the bowl as needed.

2. Drop the dough in rounded tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet.
Press
each ball of dough with the back of a spoon to form a cookie 3 1/2
inches
in diameter and about one-eighth-inch thick.

3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove
from
oven and immediately remove the cookies from the baking sheet to a
cooling
rack. The cookies will be soft but will firm up as they cool.

Yield: 3 dozen cookies

Preparation Time: 1 hou

I think it's also known as A-Pig.

I'm no experienced photographer by a long shot, I appreciate your
compliment. Your photo looks better than you give yourself credit for.

Don't think Squeaks is gonna be the only one you're running away from,
young man... However, you can run, but you can't hide; for contravening
Section 7.0 of the rec.food.cooking FAQ you should be lashed with a wet

Thanks Terry,

You had posted that before and I had it saved in the same file. I
debated on making that one but I'll try it next time and report back.

Thanks again,

Lou.
