The Case of the Missing Pecan Pie. #Closed
Last night, I made two pecan pies.
See.
When I got up this morning at 4 a.m. to head into Atlanta, I moved those two beauties to our dining room table.
And really didn’t think much else about it till I got home from race (which was awesome BTW) and saw only one pie on the table.
In the place of the other pie, I saw this . . .
Odd.
But no one was home and I had to get my collard greens cooking — so I forgot about the missing pie.
Until later, when I started thinking what in the heck happened to that pie?
At this point, hubs was home.
But he was
Asleep.
So I put on my super-slueth Nancy Drew cap. Found my crime stopper pad and pencil and started thinking.
Who could have done this?
Suspect Number One.
Problem Number One.
Absence of a body. Er . . . I mean absence of a pie tin.
Maybe hubs took the pie over to his parents early?
Like monkeys would fly out of my butt before that would happen.
Then my little Nancy Drew super-sluething senses grew two-times this day.
Supposing the prime suspect got the pie.
Where would the tin end up?
Look under the table my heightened super-sleuthing senses told me.
There it was.
Granted, it’s circumstantial at best. No traces of the pecan nut have been swabbed from the suspect’s mouth, but . . .
I think we have our dog.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with those you love. Down one pie or not, it’s my favorite holiday.
I do love a good mystery 🙂 Glad you solved this one! Nice job, Nancy Drew! And happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Yes Julia. I solved it on my own. Ned Nickerson was nowhere in sight. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you.
I love this story. We have 2 labs is all I have to say!!!
Dana, the one thing that concerns me is that usually anything odd to eat and his stomach and digestive track is super irritated. I’m hoping it doesn’t take effect in the middle of the night.
Oh dear, I hope your dog is okay! I’m surprised he didn’t at least make a dent in the second pie. (Gorgeous pies, by the way).
LOL! Can you blame the sweet pup? 🙂
So sorry I missed you yesterday. Next year we must meet up!
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
I would love to see how he acted that Morning if we went for a run! I bet lots of stops and walking!!! Poor little tummy but Tee-Bow knows a good Pecan pie when he sees one! I would have done the same thing!!
[…] was 9 a.m. and Tebow needed […]
First rule of sleuthing: When the crime in question involves pie, ALWAYS blame the damn dog!
I hope you had an abundant Thanksgiving, anyway!
P.S. I would have been bummed because if I made TWO pecan pies (my favorite, by the way) only one of them would have been for “others”; the other would have been for me to keep! I wonder if I would have been able to let that other pie go to the in-laws. It would have been a very difficult decision.
Awww, your pictures are missing for this one. I just read these in reverse from pie palooza? Did I spell that right? Katie’s pie – LOL! So in the “case” of this post, what did you see in place of the missing pie?
I know Kenya. Couldn’t figure out why the photos wouldn’t come up. I remember there being an empty pie tin. 🙂
