My match sent me a pecan pie! Well, not an actual pie. But all the bits and pieces I would need to MAKE a pecan pie. The most important bit - the pecans - were opened immediately to be munched upon at my leisure. I do enjoy a good pecan, and it's been quite a while since I had one. And I LOVE pecan pie. It's my favorite holiday pie. HOW DID YOU KNOW??

I'm really digging the pie chicken. I think I will name him Norbert and sit him next to my computer so we can hang out all day long. And the measuring spoons are freaking adorable! And the pie plates are so lovely and rustic-like. I know the GeneralissimoFranco will be sad to hear that one of the pie plates did not survive the long journey to Thailand... :-( But I am more than happy with just the one that survived! I will, however, steal the recipe for apple pie off the one that broke before I send it off to its funeral.

It looks like I will be making myself a pecan pie this weekend, using a special, super-secret, grandmothers-only recipe from the Generalissimo's OWN grandmother. It will be glorious.

Thank you SO much GeneralissimoFranco!!
