Sweet potato pies a staple

In how many cities can you find homemade sweet potato and/or pecan pies wrapped for sale at the checkout stands? That is, not to mention homemade pralines - but that goes without saying.

I can't describe how wonderful it is to take one of those goodies home and eat it for breakfast or dinner dessert or snack. I don't even think they're that unhealthy. Probably no preservatives. Sure beats a Twinkie.

We've had Hubig pies at checkout until recently when the factory burned down. They'll be back.
