By the way, if you are wondering about the photographer of the amazing pecan appetizer photo go check her website out. [Jennifer Davick Photography](http://jenniferdavick.com) She has some amazing images.  I love great food photos and if I ever get around to writing that cookbook I have dreams of writing then I know who I would like to do the photography!
