I cooked the Fruta de mazapan up the day before.  They kept well; they lost 
their crispness quickly, but didn't go greasy.  The dough was moist and they 
were fried in really hot oil; perhaps the water in the dough burst into 
steam and kept the oil from saturating the crust.  All I know is, they were 
good.

I just wish I could have tasted the other entries; I've got some dietary 
restrictions, and I couldn't eat anything!  WAAAH!

Congrats on your favor.  It is more than well-deserved.

Vicente
