Personal Notes:
This is the recipe I made the year Daisy ate the whole Pecan Pie while Casey and I went to pick-up John at Sea- Tac when he came home from Minneapolis for Thanksgiving his first year at University of Minnesota. Casey had requested Pecan Pie. John wanted Key Lime, which was cooling in the refrigerator. I made another Pecan pie and Daisy was very happy.
