National Pecan Pie Day

I make lousy pies. Overall, I am not a bad cook but pies are better left to experts. The first time I made a Pecan Pie

was about 18 years ago when I was dating my sweet husband. It turned out terrible! It was soupy and runny and crust tasted like a piece of salty, stale rice cake. And yet, he ate it - smiled, said it was tasty and thanked me for making it.

After 16 years of marriage do you think he would still be as kind? By golly, yes he would because he is a tactful and loving man.

Today, I will go to Baker's Square - where they make delicious peis - and buy one piece for him instead in honor of National Pecan Pie Day!
