So, how can I make this competition more appealing? Here's today's offer. With the help of my two lovely and culinarily talented nieces, I'm baking biscotti today for Sgt. Hook- we'll send them with a couple pounds of Dunkin Donuts coffee. These are not just ordinary biscotti. Several years ago, I took second place at the Oregon State Fair with my secret biscotti formula. And why didn't I take first? Because my son, now a United States Marine, took my recipe and tweaked it. He took first. As Matt at Blackfive noted, ". . . if it ain't nailed down, GI's will steal it". And, he wasn't even a Marine at the time - just practicing. With my recipe.

So, I'll auction off a box of delicious second-place biscotti with a bag of coffee (not Dunkin Donuts, it's all going to Sgt. Hook) and a USMC travel mug to the highest bidder. We'll keep the auction open for a few days via the comments section - bid early, bid often!

Check back later for pictures of the biscotti-baking process.
