Thanks, Chelle! You’re right…the road to perfection is paved with mishaps and mistakes.

Yay! I am glad you posted it! Yes, I’m sure Martha Stewart most definitely had some mishaps before her perfection!

Thanks for the tips and the recipe, Kirstin. I will definitely have to try this one again because it was an easy – and delicious – made from scratch pie. Those recipes are hard to come by!

I used salted pecan halves and omitted the salt from the crust altogether. I also used slightly more pecans to balance out the dough, which may have prevented the crust from burning, but oven temps do vary from oven to oven, so this may have also contributed to the burning. With the spices, I love cinnamon and ginger and tend to go heavy on these, but I go lighter on cloves which can quickly overpower other flavors. I usually measure the spices and put into a smaller bowl one at a time and take a big sniff as a I add each spice to get what smells like the right balance. If it smells right, it will taste right! All that said, the pie sure looks tasty in the photo!

Thanks Tracy! You gave me the confidence to post my not-so-perfect pie Kumar was a waiter at the club in Cooperstown so he’s got table setting down to a T. And napkin folding! I updated your link on my blogroll. I’m starving just reading your posts!

You posted it! I love it! Love your Thanksgiving division of labor…so fun when everyone chips in (maybe Kumar could teach my brother a lesson in table setting!). Keep up all your awesome work!
