pecans are inexpensive at Trader Joes!!! I made a pie. kinda therapeutic as well. making the dough, and stuff. the amount of sugar and BUTTER did give me pause. hahah..(same reason I dont eat Hollandaise sauce anymore - I made some!)

I love pecan pie. I grew up in El Paso and we are surrounded by pecan orchards in NM. I seem to remember them pronouncing it "PEE CAAN"

My wife this morning, "can you make a Strawberry Pie??!!"

"its December Honey - December"

Strawberry pie, I'm sure that you could get some strawberries that would be imported from somewhere, Mexico, China, something. But they wouldn't have any flavor, and the pie would probably end up "meh" at best.

Nice, made your own "Pee-caan" pie, LOL.
