I’m getting too angry at what’s on the news
To comment, and so, to unlight my fuse
I give you another of my recipes
And this one’s in rhyme, if you please!
 
Another dessert that’s a nice one for guests
It’s chewy and sweet so small portions are best
This one has no mix, it is all made from scratch
But if fam wants some, too, you can whip up a “batch”
 
Not Your Usual Pecan Pie

14 Ritz crackers                    1 cup pecan pieces
3 egg whites                            1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar                              small carton whipping cream
½ tsp baking powder 
                       
In gallon size Baggie, put Ritz crackers in.
And roll ‘til they’re crumbs with a big rolling pin.
Add sugar and bp to egg whites you beat,
Next vanilla, then beat ‘til the whites form a peak
 
Fold crumbs and pecans with a slow, gentle hand;
Pour mixture into buttered 8 inch pie pan
Bake at 325 for approx. 30 minutes.
While it cools, beat the cream, with the sug and van in it.
 
Top up the pie and then refrigerate.
It’s rich; and with small slices, it will serve eight.
