Just when I had reconciled myself to no wheat products - no bread, no good pasta, no pies or cakes - I discover Pie Squared. This is a little bake shop that I pass by twice a day going to/coming from work. This was the place that I called to order our Easter pecan pie.

Clever name and logo, don't you think?

I picked it up last night on my way home - it weighed a ton! But I didn't even peek. Until this morning. {sob}:
The official weight of this delectable chunk of goodness is 4.67 lbs! There must be over two inches of filling! The crust looks sooooo flaky and wonderful. I guess I will just have to buck-up and eat the filling and not the crust. Such a sacrifice, I tell you.
Last night I hard boiled the eggs (only time will tell if they are eggs/from/hell or not) and made the dyes: red/beets, yellow/turmeric and blue/red cabbage. This morning I dyed them and I am pretty happy with how they turned out. There were a few clinkers, but for the most part they are pretty.
Now all that's left is the gargantuan ham. I figure it will take six hours. Good thing I get up at the crap of dawn, isn't it?
Wishing all of you and yours a very happy holiday weekend!
