The Greek's mother, who is quite artistic, helped me with the food styling (by the time I'm done cooking/baking, I rarely have it in me to do anything too creative). <br /><br />And I'm excited about Thanksgiving, too; I'm sitting here, mentally menu planning and wondering how eclectic my table can really be. I'm going to say very and just go with what feels right. :) And a Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, especially if I don't see you tomorrow! <br />Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290135991797809997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-58212191819293074732012-11-20T14:23:19.405-08:002012-11-20T14:23:19.405-08:00Thank you!

I think the answer to the sticky, gooey quality of the tart is maybe more chocolate (never a bad thing) and more nuts (a positive on the texture side, right?). I don't know, but I'll have to figure it out in the next few days. I may go the cornstarch route, but it's hard to say. For now, I'm still sitting in my pjs, waiting for the rain to stop and simply thinking about everything that needs to be done. Small steps, small steps.<br /><br />And a happy Thanksgiving to you and Eric! I hope there is fondue and other good things. :) xKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290135991797809997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031121890854604877.post-89863652368097065782012-11-16T18:52:07.777-08:002012-11-16T18:52:07.777-08:00Your photos are so beautiful, and the tart crust l...Your photos are so beautiful, and the tart crust looks particularly perfect!

I was never a big fan of pecan pie growing up because there was too much of the gooey layer for me (not enough crunch, of course!), but I think the addition of chocolate is inspired! I hope you have a great time in New Orleans, and a fabulous Thanksgiving!Krugthethinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216398915236885253noreply@blogger.com
