The one where my cold


has finally starting packing up and leaving.  The weekend was rough, but I did go to the doctor on Friday and got antibiotics and cough medicine, I feel much, much better.

I did manage to make a big pot of from scratch spaghetti sauce so even though I was puny, neither Mr. Iknead or I went hungry.  Honestly, I think we could eat just out of our pantry for a few weeks if we ever needed to.  Chances are we wouldn’t always be eating what we wanted to eat, but going hungry is not something we need to be concerned about.  Every week I tell myself that I’m going get the pantry back in order, but every week, something much more fun comes along and that project is abandoned without a backward glance.

I found a picture today of what Mr. Iknead swears is the best pecan pie ever, so I decided to share it

Mr. Iknead’s Best Pecan Pie

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup pecan halves

1 unbaked pie crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat eggs slightly in mixing bowl.  Blend in sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter and vanilla.
Add pecans.  Pour into pastry shell.  Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in the filling comes out clean.  Makes one 9 inch pie.  Refrigerate any leftovers.
