Be the Nut
The toils and snares of life serve oft to distract from the pleasant interludes found in less-traveled paths, and I find that I can't even recall how much I miss them until serendipity brings me back. I suspect we'd all be better off if we spent a bit more time reading things like this exquisite ode to the pecan and its namesake pie, prepared for our savoring by the inimitable PTMYB Bakerina herself.
How good is she? The Gazette now has a new category of posts, the main purpose of which is to remind me to not be a stranger.
Technorati tag: Pecan Pie
I'm just so impressed by the discipline she brings to her craft. Her research is impeccable and she almost always provides a historical perspective to her recipes that makes them interesting even to non-cooks like me. You can tell that she just loves what she does.

I keep getting distracted and looking at the pictures and then, when I sense the drool pooling on my shirt, I click away and glance fearfully around the room before cleaning myself up.

Posted by: Eric at February 1, 2006 01:33 PMOh, my gracious. Look what happens when a hectic work schedule and a new regime of sock-knitting keeps me away from the computer for a few days. Thank you, Eric, and Pattie, and Jim. The past two weeks have been a bit difficult -- not necessarily bad, just difficult -- and your kindness was just the best shot in the arm tonight. As my college buddies in Pittsburgh used to say, I love yinz guys. (I believe that "yinz guys" translates roughly to "all y'all." :)

I can gain 10 pounds just by stopping by Bakerina's place. I love her, too!
