SNOW

Wow it just keeps coming

Never wear tennis shoes on icy streets

Ok , so I will have to admit that alot has happened since my last post, it Snowed in Boston, and like the good neighbor that I am I immediately shoveled in front of my storefront as well as my neighbor Tony's Market, and equally at home, I live on a corner so I shovel the complete corner, and it ends there, it seems that No one else believes in shoveling after a 3'" snowfall before it will freeze overnight, needless to say I chnaged from my work clogs into tennis shoes and 20 ft past my house i hit a patch of ice and bit the dust in a big way while walking the dogs. having a leash in each hand i wasnt able to catch myself and I went down for the count slamming the back of my head on the pavement and scaring the living daylight out of my dogs. now recovered from whiplash and a knot on the head here is the long promised Pie recipe

1 1/2 cups Pecan halves ( toast in a 300 degree oven on a baking sheet pan for 7 minutes to bring out the flavor)

In a kitchen aid mixer  blend:

1/2 cup butter

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

Using a paddle attachment cream the above ingredients until fluffy on medium - high speed with your kitchen aid mixer (approx 3-5 minutes) the add

2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

3 Large Eggs beating on medium speed for 1 minute

then add

3 Tablesppons A P flour

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup buttermilk

mix on low-medium until incorporated

(of course you have already rolled out a pie crust and put it in a 9" pie pan, fluting the crust (recipe is prior blog)

pour the mixture into pie shell, then arrange the toasted pecan halves neatly face up in a circle starting from the outside cicrling to the center

Bake in a 300 degree oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes then remove from oven , allow to cool for at least 45 minutes until serving, serve with a generous dollup of fresh whipped cream

happy eating
