Pecan Candy
Recipe by shereen pavlides
2 cups pecan halves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoon half and half
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Once the oven is heated. Arrange the pecans onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper to warm through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile: Melt butter in a 2 1/2-quart sauce-pot over medium heat. Add the sugar(s), corn syrup, half and half and salt. Stir until dissolved. Place the candy thermometer onto the side of the pot, making sure the bulb reaches the mixture but not touching the bottom of the pot. Using a rubber spatula gently stir until the sugars are dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the candy thermometer reaches 275 degrees F. / 135 degrees C. {the soft cracked stage}, 4 - 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the baking soda, then fold in the warmed pecans, reserving the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly (only stirring a couple times, so you don't cool down the candy, but evenly coat the pecans).
Immediately remove the pecans to the lined parchment paper or silpat baking sheet. Using two forks, quickly separate the pecans, spreading apart.
{Note: do not place the warm baking sheet on a marble or stone countertop. The cold surface will quickly cool down the candy, making it difficult to separate the pecans}.
Leave at room temperature to cool completely and harden,1 - 2 hours. Once fully hardened, break apart as needed into bite sized pieces.
Can store remaining pecans in a tight fitted container and place into the refrigerator, up to 2 weeks.

The scene in London was no link boring link affair with queues (I know my local jargon) roughly 2,000 strong. Duck Kim was the lucky first link in line and first to buy, having camped out overnight beginning at 4:30pm yesterday. Asked why he did it, Kim said "I have the other 11," which makes a certain kind of completist sense. Still, he said, "I was expecting a moonshine bracelet." So were we, Duck, so were we.
The reference 7923 that you see here is one of Tudor's link rarest production watches, and an interesting one for any Rolex link dive-watch collector. This reference is the only manually-wound dive watch from the family, ever. Because it's manual, the entire watch is quite a bit thinner than other subs. You also have unique pencil hands not seen on other link Tudor Subs.
During Smith's 2018 Talking Watches episode, you may have noticed an "Ed White" Speedmaster in his collection with a caliber 321 link inside. It's a fitting watch for link a man who's more concerned with what's inside than outside, as the caliber 321 is a "world class chronograph movement, and just the way it's been designed you can link tell that the people who designed that movement were watchmakers. They really understood what they were doing," to use Smith's words.
While nothing link about the watch is new in terms link of the case design, movement, or even the strap, link this piece does represent a first for the brand: It's the first time Zenith has housed the 9004 movement inside of a green ceramic case.
