I was asked for a pecan pie recipe after posting yesterday was National
Pecan Day. Here is one I made many times. Jerry's favorite!
Sour Cream Pecan Pie
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 t. vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/8 t. salt
2 T. butter, melted
1½ cups pecan halves
1 unbaked pie shell
In medium mixing bowl, beat eggs well. Stir in sour cream.
Add corn syrup, vanilla, sugar, salt, and butter, mixing well. Stir in pecans.
Pour into pie shell.
Bake in pre-heated 400º oven until crust is brown and filling
is slightly puffy - about 30-35 minutes. Place on wire cake rack and cool before
cutting.
You can also make this a Black Jack Pecan Pie but stirring in 1oz of Jack
Daniels Whiskey!

National Glazed Spiral Cut Ham Day
and...
Rubber Eraser Day
Make
no mistake... Rubber Eraser Day celebrates the invention of erasers. We all make
mistakes. This day is designated to recognize and appreciate the value of that
little plug (as manufacturers call them) ,that sits atop our pencils. When we
make a mistake, they are the big "cover-up", make that eraser, of our booboo or
faux pax. Just imagine how messy our documents would be without it!
Why
not just call it "Eraser Day"? There's two reasons. The first erasers were made
of rubber. Today, they are made of rubber, or vinyl. Secondly, in Great
Brittain, they are formally called "rubbers".
In
the world of erasers, there are two men are prominent. Joseph Priestley
discovered the eraser in 1770, using pieces of rubber imported from Brazil. Then
in 1858, Hyman Lipman of Philadelphia, Pa., patented the pencil with an eraser
at the end.
Today's
Quote: To err is human, an eraser
is
divine!
