It'll make you really fat

It'll make you really fat

I just made this pie.  It’s my favorite pie in the whole wide world.  I hadn’t made it in a long time and had nearly forgotten how exciting and decadent it is.

At this time, in this place we all need a little excitement.  So I made a pie.

It’s a Sweet Potato Pecan Pie.  It’s a hyrbrid. Tasting all creamy and healthy like a pumpkin pie with cinnamon and nutmeg and all spice.  Yet crunchy and syrupy like a pecan pie.

Heaven on a fork with a crisp hallelujah.

I, like most cooks/chefs/bakers, have adjusted the original recipe (from the Dinosaur Bar-b-que) so you’ll never be able to actually taste my little slice of heaven. Have you heard of Dinosaur Bar-b-que?  Sort of cult favorite in Rochester New York that added locations in Syracuse and finally, in 2004, Harlem.

But if you like, I’ll share with you the original recipe.  Let me know – with a promise that you’ll make your own crust (one special secret to a great crust is using well chilled butter or crisco).
