In other words, you're much like me; you just like all that stuff. The Collin Street Bakery has been making those fruit cakes since 1896. Many years ago, the place burned, so they rebuilt a couple of blocks south on 7th street (S.H. 31) which is the main east/west street through town. They claim to ship a million fuit cakes to over 200 countries each year. And of course, they hire a bunch of extra temporary employees each Fall. There's a window in a door through which you can watch them making those cakes; quite an operation.
And yes, I like pecan pies and my wife makes a good one. On of our son-in-laws is also very fond of them. The other son-in-law's mother makes a buttermilk pecan pie and our daughter recently used that recipe for a pecan pie for me. I certainly didn't throw any away; ate every bite of it, but I didn't think it was nearly as good as the old fashioned ones.
