Dear MOM,
I have just made a delectable strawberry pecan pastry for you, created with myriad layers of filo dough, pecans fresh from Aunt Ramona's tree in North Carolina, and topped with whipped cream enhanced with a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of cardamom. Let me cover you up with this colorful afghan and tuck you into the porch swing as you tuck in.
