Last Friday's Thanksgiving meal for our tidy crew of eight ended on a dessert note, with espresso chocolate pecan pie the featured player. Wonderfully fudgy, it was at the same time a seductive sticky stiff goo, interspersed with pecan pieces, nestled into a crisp pastry crust and cut into portions that exceeded the small areas of torso vacancy left following the Thanksgiving spread. We gave it our best shot, and the steely resolve of most diners produced victory, which roughly translates into unbridled excess and several shakes of self-satisfaction together with tight-belted discomfort.
