I am a nurse here in Austin with a passion for cooking great food. I started cooking after my parents divorced when I was about 10 years old and back then always tried to "invent" new food. :D The first pecan pie I made was horrid. I miss read the amount of butter to use and think I tripled it...it was swimming in a pool of butter. I tried blotting and spooning out the butter but it was no use. Sadly my ex husband ate it and just smiled..lol poor sap!
