And, your result was spectacular. I heard that a little nut fairy stole all the hard-to-find pecans, however. When I make a recipe by Thomas Keller (The French Kitchen) I have to take it apart and plan it over the course of 2 or 3 days. It makes it doable and more fun. From your Post, I think you actually enjoyed this week's recipe. Great photos.Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.com
