Hi it's me.  Sorry I've been MIA for the past two weeks, but we were on vacation in Boston and Maine and suddenly had to come home because of Hurricane Harvey..and well you know how that went.  Life has been interesting to say the least and while our community is still in complete recovery from the storm, I have started to resume somewhat of a normal routine again.  My days have been running together and I haven't been sure what day it is for the last week, let alone what season it is!  I hear fall is approaching, even though the weather here refuses to let me believe it until this morning where there is, dare I say, a crisp in the air which feels fantastic!  With fall, comes all things comforting (which Houston could use right now) and my easy candied pecans are just that...basically a hug in food form.
