Nut Wedges

I found this recipe in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine and thought it looked easy enough even for me. Here's how it's done:

Preheat oven to 375 (or less if your oven is possessed by demons like mine is)

Mix together 1 cup of nuts (I used a combo of pecans and pistachios), with 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tbsps honey, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp lemon juice.

I used the pre-packaged pie crust in the dairy section for the crust. Lay the bottom crust on an ungreased cookie sheet and spread the nut mixture over it.

Then cover with the top layer of pie crust. Prick holes all around with a fork, then crimp around the edges with the tines. Brush with milk.

Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, then let cool for 10 minutes and cut into wedges. Drizzle some melted chocolate all over it. Not bad but not as baklava-ish as I'd hoped.

Now on a personal note, an unspeakable tragedy occured during this photographic journey. I dropped my *insert many vile curse words here* camera. *continue cursing here*.

Okay, I got it out of my system. It still seems to function but it has issues. Everything else I own is broken so why not the flippin' camera. Pity party starts at 6.
