Sweet Tooth

This is a rather inane post, but I have to write about something, and I don't feel like going into the deep end of the blogging pool.
I'm salivating as the aroma of an in-the-oven pecan pie fills the house. I fully admit to a sweeter than average (whatever that median is) tooth. Ok, tongue and taste and brain. The tooth part is a puzzle.
I'm a dessert fiend. Chocolate is my favorite, but anything sweet sends me into ecstasy. It takes the greatest of willpowers to limit my intake. I can fully empathize with over-indulgers. If I didn't exercise so much, I'd be looking like that round mound of pie dough I had balled up.
I especially like pies. One must, in order to work so hard at making one up--first the crust, then the filling. This particular pie is my own specialty, never seen in a cookbook. I add persimmon pulp, halving the corn syrup. I like the taste and texture of it.
For all the work involved, I plan to eat the whole thing by myself--over time, of course! I'll be generous in some other way to resolve my guilt feelings. However, I would share a sliver for any of my blogger friends. There's the buzzer!

Hi sol; I'm with you on chocolate--I'm a chocoholic, and always keep
some in the house. If I buy those big Hershey bars they don't last long
so I buy a bag of chocolate chips instead and when that urge hits, I have
a spoonful and it kills the craving.
Wow! A man who makes his own pie crust! I buy them frozen, and some of them are excellent. But pecan pie is just too too sweet. Cherry and coconut creme though--can't get enough!

Well, noodles are my food of choice... but pies, well, pies do hold a special place in the dessert arena, especially pecan AND lemon meringue! Well, chocolate cream, too.

Next time you drop by the house on your way to fight invaders from planet tamarisk I will be sure to bake a pie for you.

I, like you, have a seemingly insatiable sweet-tooth! I attempt to curb it though, since diabetes runs in my family.
My cravings for sweets comes from my dad. He had drawer in his desk at home that just a treasure trove of candy bars - Pay Days, Clark Bars, Bolster Bars, you name it.
If left unchecked, I'd eat chocolate until my head and stomach ached.

I share this weakness for dessert. I like to eat it before the meal, just in case I should die before I came to it.

Pecan is my favorite. That and a cup of coffee and I am in ecstasy right along with you. MMM. Darn you! Pies are not a strength of mine and store bought is never worth it! ARGH!

I would have never thought of adding persimmon pulp to a pecan pie! You swear that it is good????

Solitaire: I confess to mixing anti-depressants with the best chocolate on the planet: Perugina Bacci. Keeps me going during parent-teacher conference nights.
