Laura’s birthday is this month and I would really like to make her a Pecan Pie as it is her favorite… but she might have to satisfy herself with a “Birthday Pecan Torte” as we are both struggling removing the last pesky pounds…well, I have a lot more peskiness than she has to remove.
Which reminds me of an old saying that ” a chef should only taste his work.” It means that a chef – left to their own devices — will create something uniquely wonderful to their own tastes… and consequently be more likely to eat more of it… and we don’t want to have to use ‘apron extenders’ do we?
Yes, there is a lot of wonderful things in this pie… but you can diet another day!
