Bray Park in Bradenton is the place to be for canines Saturday, Dec. 6, when the Animal Network, Bishop Animal Shelter and Manatee County Parks and Recreation host the 10th Annual Canine Christmas Festival. The Canine Christmas event offers dogs and their people fun events, play-time and holiday cheer. Pets will be available for adoption and in addi-tion to food and entertainment; there will be a silent auction, raffl e prizes, a 50/50 drawing and vendor booths. The silent auction features a designer cat condo tree built by Anna Maria Island architect Gene Aubry. All proceeds are used locally by the Animal Network for animal wel-fare.

By Bonner Joy Friends are, of course, No. 1 on our list of things to be thankful for every year. Friends who share great recipes are No. 2. For these friends and recipes, Thanks-giving is for sharing. Here is the eggnog recipe given to Janet Aubry of Anna Maria by her friend Ralph Ellis of Houston. He told Janet that it was originally published decades ago in Harpers Bazaar as “the” traditional holi-day beverage. She adds, “May your days be merry and bright after you drink this and, for heaven’s sake, don’t drive afterward.
Servings: 2012 eggs separated2 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 quarts heavy cream1 cup powdered sugar1 pint rum (dark)1 quart brandy (2 pints) Reserve six egg whites in one bowl and six egg whites in a second bowl. In a large bowl beat all yolks well. Add granulated sugar gradually to yolks and beat well. Add rum and brandy alternately and slowly to yolk mixture. Then, to this mix-ture, add three quarts of heavy cream. Beat six egg whites until very stiff and fold into mixture. Then beat remaining six egg whites VERY stiff and beat powdered sugar into them. Add, stirring lightly, remaining cream and fold this mixture into the other. Let stand in refrigerator 4-12 hours.
Top with grated nutmeg (we prefer fresh grated) before serving. The recipe serves 20, but Janet generously “packages” jugs of joy for her holiday guests to carry home.
Also on our favorite list of friends is Billie Martini of Holmes Beach. She seems to know just the right time and day to appear at The Islander offi ce with dev-iled eggs and Bacardi Rum Cake, both of which are VERY popular among staff. Post a warning over the “last” piece of cake, as fi ngers can be crushed in the taking.
Cake:1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts1 18 1/2 ounce yellow cake mix
1 3 1/4 instant vanilla pudding mix4 eggs1/2 cup cold water1/2 cup Wesson oil1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum (80 proof)Glaze:1/4 pound butter1/4 cup water1 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum (80 proof) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and fl our 10-inch tube or 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients. Pour batter over nuts. Bake one hour. Cool cake. Invert on serving plate and prick the top. For glaze, melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stir-ring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum.

Drizzle and smooth glaze evenly over top and sides, allowing cake to absorb glaze. Repeat until the glaze is used up.
Susan Nudd warmly agreed fi ve years ago to share her Christmas cookie recipe, passed down by her mother, she said, from a recipe that originated from the Amish-Dutch community of Sullivan, Ill. “I’ve been making them since high school, then with my mom,” Nudd said. Nudd’s cookies were discovered by us some years ago as she served them fol-lowing the Roser Memorial Community Church Bethlehem Walk, and they had been decorated with special care by her granddaughter, Aaron Grace Tribble, then age 5.
First mix one cup sugar, one cup pow-ered sugar, one cup Oleo. (Is that called margarine now, or is there still Oleo?) Add two eggs, then one cup oil. Add 4 3/4 cup fl our, one teaspoon baking soda, one teaspoon cream of tartar, one half tea-spoon salt, two teaspoons vanilla. Cool dough about one hour, roll in
balls, press with a fork and decorate with colored sugar, candy sprinkles and the likes. (Not icing.) Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min-utes. “It makes a really big recipe,” Nudd said. “About six dozen cookies.” And it too is worth packaging and sharing with friends and as holiday host-ess gifts.
“Season that sucker and cook it hot and fast.” That’s the advice of my long-time friend and chef, Augie Mrozowski, some 30 years ago on cooking a Thanks-giving turkey. It’s sage advice, not to make a pun. Salt and pepper all over, including inside, cook breast side down, 450 degrees for about an hour and a half (18 pounds or so), then fl ip it and lower the temp to about 350 degrees for 20 minutes to a half hour to brown the top. It will be moist and delicious, it’s guaranteed. We put trimmings from the veggies, carrot and potato peel, onion skins and celery tops in the bottom of the pan. When the turkey is done and
removed, we then add the wing tips and other non-edible portions of the turkey to the veggies with some water to create au jus. Next strain out the veggies and add a roux mixture (equal parts butter and fl our mixed smooth) to the simmering pot — and you have awesome gravy. Why we don’t cook a small turkey and trimmings once a month is the only remaining question. It’s that delicious.
More than 13 years ago we fi rst fea-tured Bernard Haulsee of Anna Maria and his 20-year tradition of baking a fruitcake recipe handed down by his mother. When it comes to holiday baking tra-ditions, this is one of the tastiest. Really. It is not to be categorized with the store-bought brick variety. Each eight-pound cake is full of cherries, pineapple, coconut, raisins and pecans — and an abundant “baptism” of Jim Beam.
“I love to bake them,” said Haulsee in 1993. “It’s a hobby. Some people tease me by telling me it’s a pretty expensive hobby, but I tell them that it’s a lot cheaper than playing golf!” The week before Christmas was Haul-see’s favorite time during the holidays. With his cakes wrapped carefully in foil, he made his rounds to deliver his delicious gift to his friends and local businesses — those who had helped him during the year. “They are always glad to see me,” he said. “This makes it a nice Christmas for all of us.” As a holiday gift to Anna Maria Island, Haulsee agreed to share his recipe. “Be sure to tell them not to stir the butter and sugar and eggs too much. If they do, the cake will crumble after its baked. Don’t want it to crumble,” he warned. Many thanks to Mr. Haulsee, although

*NEW The week of Sept. 11, the 54-year-old Manatee Shopping Guide announced on its back cover that it was the last issue. Staff was let go, even one delivery woman, after 41 loyal years, was told sorry, no more job. We stepped in to change that. We hired some shopping guide folks, consulted with others, and we are ready to start anew for you. And we are local. There’s no big group and no out-of-town stock-owners, just folks who live and work in Manatee County like you do. We do NOT outsource jobs (like our competitor) and we have been publishing news in Manatee County for more than 16 years. We started humble in 1992, just as with this venture, but we plan to go gangbusters into season, giving our advertisers the best possible product by providing high circulation, great home delivery, and keeping costs low. For readers, we hope to provide bargains and information in abundance. You know us as The Islander, THE newspaper on Anna Maria Island, carrying on a reporting tradition that began in the 1950s. We’re the “little engine that could.” We hope you’ll jump aboard with us and continue the tradition of the shopping guide in Manatee County. We promise to make it worthwhile to you and to our local economy. — Publisher, Bonner Joy
