I'm not a big maple fan, but aside from that, this sounds heavenly. And I'm with you on the pecan pie.

I will have fun playing with this, Jules! Dave loves maple things and I love pecans and we are determined to make this marriage work, LOL! What a perfect coupling! (Umm, you know what I mean, the maple and the pecans, really???? ) <br /><br />And the furry friends!!! "Woodsies", remember them? I love the squeaky little woodsies. They were some of my favorite toys with my kids, we'd make up all kinds of little woodland tales and the woodsie puppets would act them out. <br /><br />Dave bought two pies at the baked food booth at the benefit last night. Cherry for him, lemon meringue because I was craving it. It's calling me RIGHT NOW! :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-49989341185705986552013-10-19T17:25:24.501-04:002013-10-19T17:25:24.501-04:00Yes, I knew the feeling.

I highly suggest doing that sooner rather than later Virginia. My mother was motivated by the death of the best cook in the family, her aunt. No one wrote those recipes down. I was a particular fan of her jelly cookies, but I'll never have another again. I think people assumed because she had three daughters, they would get the recipes, but none of them cook.

As to pies -- all I can say is y'all south of the border have much more creative palates. Up here it's fruit pies, lemon meringue and coconut cream. I can't believe the combinations you have. Chocolate Meringue????? Strawberry fluff???? And can you believe that I've never had a pecan pie?<br /><br />The recipe I wish I had that has disappeared somehow is for mocha cake.

I found it but only a list of ingredients- NOT how to make it - I told him best I could - I remember 2 pans on top of each other with water in the bottom and having to stir like crazy or the chocolate would scald - no wonder I never tried it again! my mom wasn't the most patient in the kitchen and had this 'thing' about having to wash as you go - yuck- I wanted to dirty every single pan and bowl and have flour flying everywhere not keep stuff tidy. :-(<br /><br />anyway pie looks good!<br /><br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
