"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Ora Thompson was an RN who worked with mother at the hospital in the early years and later served as daddy's office nurse for many years. I've carried this recipe around since I was a teenager. I must have liked it at the time but have never made it. It's kind of like a chess pie on steroids with the raisins and pecans.
