Imoptawa’s Pecan Pie

Once upon a time there was a pecan pie recipe better than anyone else’s. One day Ricardo and Raphael Dominguez (David and Nate) stumbled across the recipe while excavating a tomb in ancient Egypt. We saw the tablet incased in a golden box. We couldn’t help but to think about the legend that was spoken of in the local towns. The legend was of Pharaoh Imoptawa’s pecan pie recipe. We worked our way carefully across the tomb, dodging booby traps along the way. As soon Raphael opened the golden box Ricardo grabbed the sacred tablet from its resting place and sprinted from the room. Mummies chased them all the way to the exit of the pyramid. Luckily Ricardo and Raphael made it out safely, and traveled back to the U.S.A. Today the sight of the legendary pecan pie recipe will enlighten you.
