Pecans

Are so good. I've spent the last three hours with nutcracker in hand shelling several pounds of sweet Georgia pecans. It's tedious work. My right hand has had a good workout.

The market for shelled pecans in our region is $11.35 per pound. Remember, three hours of work.

I figure it took me ten minutes to eat about twenty-three dollars worth.

Ahh, so good.

    1. JC, I eat these before they have a chance to even think about freezer...I have such self-control.

  5. Is it P-cans or P-cons. We have a bunch of trees around work and they are falling and rotting on the ground, I have picked up a few bags full.

    1. Bubba, it's p-cons...a pecan used at night. At over eleven dollars a pound I be picking as many as possible. Thanks.

  6. Love walnuts, and p-cons. But they don't like me. My mom has like 100 quart jars of them canned. And brought here to denver. All of us kids will be getting a "share".
