Oh, these are good, good. There are only 3 of us in the house, so I did half the recipe and put it in an 8 x 8 pan. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Evelyn! -
I made this for our family reunion. We were having a picnic outdoors so I needed a dessert that didn't need refrigeration, and could be eaten by hand without being too messy. This was the perfect recipe. The crust is so buttery and delicious, while the chocolate pecan topping is, in my opinion, better than a pecan pie! Thanks so much! Made for ZWT3. -
Yummm - I had leftover pecans I needed to use up, and this sounded great! I did run out of butter, so I subbed with 1/2 shortening (MEAN would have been disheartened) - but they turned out great!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
