Man, that's heaven, OT!   :D  fresh pecans, pecan pie...mmm mmm...  [<snip!>]
Mr. Nighteyes, you're sure right about that.  I've never had pecans as good as those Alabama ones.   ;D

My wife's sister sends us a tin of freshly-shelled Baldwin County pecan halves every year about this time.  SWMBO uses 'em to make pecan pies, which we then take to dinner parties, give as presents to neighbors, and etc. (Of course, we keep one just for us.)

Funny thing.  The more pies we give away, the more invitations we seem to get... ;D

yep cuz a pee- can is what you take to the sleepn' chamber at night

Used to be that's how you could tell rich folks from poor ones: rich folks had a canopy over their bed, poor folks had one under theirs.

Let me know when the tin arrives.  I'll get the invitation in the mail.  ;)

lR, the rich people had "Chamber Pots". ;D

Still on SIL's unit, had to take mine in. Wife is suffering from cyber withdrawal, she doesn't like the mouse on this one. ::)

Currently 37 here, cloudy and windy.

When I filled Sandy's feeder Saturday, there was a nice smaller deer track just below the pole on THIS side of the fence. Seems they've gotten used to the shed being there........Buck ::) 8)

We have a hybrid version of the word pecan.  Don't say pee-can an don't say pa-cahn.  We say pee-cahn.  All I know is that I'm looking forward ta some pralines this holiday.  I can eat them things like no tamarra.

It's prah-leens, and we bring back a whole bunch of 'em every time we visit our family members down along the central Gulf Coast.

Oh, Delmonico, don't ever try to cook with the wood from a pecan tree, unless you've got a ton of it and three helpers to tend the fire.  That stuff burns FAST, and doesn't generate a whole lot of heat.


Well unless I have a load shipped in, it ain't likey to happen. ;D

BTW for dutch ovens black walnut sucks also.  Good stove wood but because of the oils in it, it burns from wood to ash with few coals.

Been talkin' to my wife I see. ::)  She always says ink-pen also, guess any of them I've seen either have ink in them or have run out.

My wife likes to say "Flip off the lights". I have found that raising my index finger to them doesn't seem to have much of an effect!

I was talkin' to the boss one night, they called 10 minutes till close, told him I had to go "dump" my computor.  Scared him till I told him it was a term I invented for shuttin' it down. ;D

So when it crashes, it's takin' a dump.  Course, down here we say it sh_t the bed. Same difference, I guess.  ;D

Wrong finger Russ.  Try the other one.
