Thank you, Donna Hay

I made pecan pie for Thanksgiving dinner this year.  I made one last year, too, when I was in Australia for Thanksgiving. My neighbors made a special Thanksgiving dinner for me with a turkey that looked like what real turkeys once looked like.  And I made pecan pie the year before and the one before that.  My husband loves pecan pie and I love him, so I make it on Thanksgiving, at Christmas and for his birthday.  

I think of my great-grandmother as I measure the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla, a dollop of molasses and a pinch or two of ground coriander into her dimpled brown and ochre earthenware bowl. She didn’t cook. She supervised, but she knew recipes and the bowl belonged to her.  She loved the southern food of her youth, and pecan pie is definitely sweet sensuous southern food — crunchy pecans as counterpoint to the sweet gelatinous swirl of sugar and eggs.   

I often make my own crust and did this year too.  I pulled down the flour from the cupboard, measured it carefully, cut in the shortening, sprinkled on the water, and cut and recut the dough until it was bonded and layered.  It was a bit more elastic than usual, but I hardly noticed in the delight of having a grown daughter home for a holiday, and the flurry of family conversation.  

I determinedly overcame the dough’s tendency to retract, firmly rolling it out from the center mound until I had a large enough circle to fit into my porcelain quiche dish – it’s an eclectic kitchen in my home, bits of this relative’s kitchen and bits of that one.  The quiche dish works fine for pecan pie, since the pie tin has become a dog food dish.  

I crimped the edges and filled in the rips in the bottom and thought about how flaky my pie crusts are, and how I was looking forward to the smile on my husband’s face when he bit into the pecan pie.  I sprayed the bottom of the crust with Pam which seems to inhibit soggy crust.  I added the pecans to the filling, poured the ingredients from the earthenware bowl into the pie shell and put it in the oven to bake.
