there is a big ta-do this weekend with pecans. cakes,pies, cookie ect. no meats darn.
we are making several entrys for the contest that the pecan farmers are hosting.

ah, the irony!

I have tried to Mad Hunky them...I dunno...almonds seem to do better.

I did do a pork/beef somekinda sausage logs a while ago with some smoked pecan in them...interesting... kinda sweet and looked neat. They were a bit "soft" tho.

thanks all for the nice words, my kids were sure proud of what they did. and I must say all worked hard in the mess hall trying to get every thing right. even made double batchs in case one messed up.
we were kinda dissapointed that it did not make the news paper the next day. might be in todays, have not checked.

they already have made plans for next year and have the recipes for next year jotted down and in the cook book.lol

we shall see.
