  6. Cherry Winks:1cook: According to family lore, this recipe was developed by Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Mich., the corn flake manufacturers. 1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries 1 cup shortening (at least half butter) 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 2 1/2 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup pitted, choppped dates 1/2 cup pecans, chopped Cut 13 maraschino cherries in half, end to end, then again in thirds to make moon-shaped sections. This makes the "wink." Reserve remaining cherries. In large bowl with electric mixer, cream shortening (we used all butter) and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add to mixture. Mix well. Chop remaining maraschino cherries. Fold in cherries, dates and pecans until dispersed through mixture. With a teaspoon, form dough into ball and roll in crushed corn flakes. Use generously, as they disappear as cookies spread on pan. Put one-sixth cherry in center of ball. Put on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 6 1/2 dozen.

    Happy Festivus!

    For all you Seinfeld fans- Festivus is an annual holiday created by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld.[1][2] Although the original Festivus took place in February 1966 as a celebration of the elder O'Keefe's first date with his wife, Deborah,[2] many people now celebrate the holiday on December 23, as depicted on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike" The holiday includes novel practices such as the "Airing of Grievances", in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. Also, after the Festivus meal, the "Feats of Strength" are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, with the holiday ending only if the head of the household is actually pinned. These conventions originated with the TV episode.
