Serves 6	Orange Pecan Pie Learning the truth of things can often be a funny experience. An Air Force buddy of mine found that out when he went home with me on leave. As would often happen, there would be a bunch of us sitting around drinking beer and swapping stories of what we had done in civilian life. More often than not, whenever I would tell a story, people would laugh and say no such thing ever happened, and Steve would ask me where I came up with such tall tales. When the time came for me to go home on leave, I asked Steve if he would like to go with me and see where these stories came from, to which he readily agreed. On our second day home, we stopped to have a hamburger. Before lunch was served, a friend of mine walked in the door. Instead of giving me a normal greeting to someone he hadn’t seen in years, he said, “I’ll be damned! You are just the person I’ve been needing to see! Can you tell me how to gather up six buffalo bulls?”   Steve never doubted my stories again. 9” pie crust (see page 127) ¼ lb butter ½  c brown sugar ½  c light corn syrup ½  c dark corn syrup 2 Tbl evaporated milk 2 tsp orange extract 1 tsp vanilla 1½ c pecans 4 eggs 9 inch pie shell Preheat oven to 350.  Combine all ingredients EXCEPT eggs, pecans and pie shell in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
