Xmas goodies produced to date:
\n– 2 dozen pecan puffs (melt-in-your-mouth balls of pecany goodness);
\n– several dozen raisin-filled cookies (even Dina likes ’em);
\n– about 4 dozen ginger dots<\/a>, all of which were rapidly consumed by my colleagues, some of whom had apparently not eaten in days;
