Here in the south, pecan pie is something of an institution, and we use corn syrup for the filling. Definitely want to try it this way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-82766925311879396012010-03-25T21:32:41.701+00:002010-03-25T21:32:41.701+00:00Verity, when your feeling better then yes, I like ...Verity, when your feeling better then yes, I like the hummingbird book - I think it's going around pretty cheap with the book people (who leave books in offices and stuff for people to buy)and others like that. It's been a bit hit and miss, but mostly hit.<br /><br />Overdue, your description reminds me of my ability to drive a car, no licence, several fails, and a few accidents. I just can't do it. <br /><br />A Bookish Space - it was generally found to be yummy for which all credit to the recipe.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-35185792736709169432010-03-25T20:57:43.909+00:002010-03-25T20:57:43.909+00:00Oh this looks and sounds yummy :)Oh this looks and sounds yummy :)A Bookish Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352870732457077916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-76949150236549565682010-03-24T09:11:13.910+00:002010-03-24T09:11:13.910+00:00Books like that make me want to be able to cook. ...Books like that make me want to be able to cook. So I buy them, launch myself at the kitchen, and then remember that I cannot cook. At all. And it will take more than the efforts of a human cookery writer to teach me. But by then it's too late. The smoke alarm is singing, the kitchen a smouldering ruin...<br /><br />Every time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-8592225970444955212010-03-24T08:53:31.965+00:002010-03-24T08:53:31.965+00:00Yum!

I really want to have a look at the Hummingbird cookery book - have it on reserve at the library, but don't want to buy it just yet as reviews on Amazon so variable.
