Cinnamon Walnuts
"My mother in law, Phyllis Emery, gave me this old recipe. It's fabulous, but does take a bit of doing. You can't let this recipe alone for a minute, or it will burn, scorch, or not crystallize properly.
This is also one of those recipes where the quality of the ingredients is everything -- buy the very best you can afford and don't use artificial vanilla -- only use the real thing!"

<p>Born and raised in Texas, came to the Seattle area in 1997 and never looked back. And while I was a 'neophyte foodie' in Dallas, I fear my fondness for food has only become chronic at this point. If it weren't for one very active Rottweiler, I'd be in serious trouble!</p>
