Darling pooch, Meg. I heard a joke about the dog. If you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad and wants to bite you, but he, on the other hand, will hang his head out the window and get a 50 mile an hour wind in his face and loves it....LOL~ It is strange!

In honor of "Pecan Month", here is an easy treat (I have not made this recipe, but it is very much like the one the chef used to make at a favorite resort. He added brandy at the end, and lit it. Quite a beautiful display.)

I think I would use sugar, instead of 'sweetner', also.

FIVE MINUTE SWEET SPICED PECANS

You can start making these yummy spiced pecans when the guests pull into the driveway. By the time they get into the house, it will be filled with delicious smells. Minutes later, the pecans are in a dish, ready to be nibbled on. These pecans are also great in salads.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups pecan halves
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp cayenne or other hot pepper
artificial sweetener equal to about 3 T sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Preparation:
Use a large enough skillet so the pecans are in one layer. A nonstick skillet works well.

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the hot pepper. If you are using liquid artificial sweetener, add it now.

Add pecans to skillet and cook over medium heat. Stir every 30 seconds. After 2 or 3 minutes, stir them constantly until they just begin to brown. Pecans burn quickly, so keep your eyes on them. If the butter starts smoking before this point, turn off the heat and call them done. Stir in cinnamon, salt, and powdered sweetener if you're using it. Remove from pan and place in bowl (pecans can still burn sitting in the hot pan). When they seem cool enough to taste, adjust seasonings accordingly (if you want more salt or sweetener)
