Thanks! I made derby pie and after I finished that I was definitely at the turtle stage. I swear, I almost think the 'dessert for breakfast' meal on the morning after Thanksgiving is actually the best meal of the holiday :)

Oh! Derby pie! Do you use pecans or walnuts?
Both! I chop them real fine and mix'em 50-50.
That sounds like a secret recipe!
The original recipe came from a cookbook put out as a fundraiser by the Ladies' Auxiliary to the local volunteer fire department back home. I experimented with it a bunch and what I make now is a modified variant of that.
Oh I used to love those local cookbooks and read them cover to cover. I still have a few around but these days I Google most of my recipes simply because it is quicker.
