Pecans


Here is a picture of my latest eBay purchase. The pecan is the state nut of Texas (some would argue that perhaps I could be in the running....but that's another story). Well, actually, it is the tree that is the state something or other, but you get my gist. Our pecan crop last year was not very good. These are from Alabama. Even though they are last year's crop they are really good, much better than buying packaged. So I'll be in search of a recipe to make today.

I have never thought of buying pecans off eBay! The squirrels get ours every. year. My dad buys them for me and my grandfather shells them so I can freeze them. Isn't that nice? I'm wondering if I can coax our (50-year-old) pecan tree into a bit more production ...
