Two Pecan Pies, One for each Hand

 This week we were binge watching The Soprano's because Cupcake has never seen the show. We were between episodes when a video popped up on Cupcake's Faceplace news feed. She follows Pinky Ma's posts, and they were droning on and on while making a pie. Lawman caught bits and pieces until one of the ladies said "What did that take me, like ten minutes to make?"

This peaked Lawman's interest, because his grandmother would make pecan pie, and would just toss it together in a few minutes and it has never been replicated in his lifetime. So after memorizing the recipe he struck out the next morning to make one. The ladies used store bought pie crust, ala "Crazy Granny" but that's not how Lawman rolls. 

He started out with his own buttermilk pie crust.

It took us three days to eat. We felt so bad about eating a whole pie that Cupcake ordered up another pie for the weekend. 

Both grandmothers would be proud, we feel certain.

We finally got around to going to the Class six store this week to buy some liquor to make our Christmas vanilla.

We are really looking forward to boiled custard this season.

We roasted another round of coffee beans. This time we roasted them a full hour. This may be the key to good coffee. We go without creamer with this batch.

On a food related note this week, the Dudley Twins are the stars. Cupcake gets up every morning and fixes four scrambled eggs, and we usually have a leftover sweet potato or roasted chicken to add to the dog food bowls.

Augustus favorite is chicken. He makes himself comfortable while he waits for the help to prepare his meal. 

I am: King Shit of Turdville

We ended the week by cleaning out the kids junk room, the garage, a nap, and wings.
