anyway from then on she brought me brown grocery bags FULL FULL of Pecans.From the trees in her yard.First time I ever saw one s like that
Black balls of rough shells.Tough job getting to the pecan I can tell you that..
Sure wish I had them now...I love pecans..Walnuts... not so much..
And I can tell you, I'm certainly glad and grateful I can afford to purchase my pecans already shelled and picked! Mom use to bring home bags and bags of Georgia pecans when she went to my brother's to visit. She thought they were a "bargain" price. Geesh! I was workin' a full time job, volunteering at the girls' school and Mom got upset if I didn't want to spend all day Saturday and Sunday cracking and pickin' pecans with her.
bethk wrote:Yeah....the holiday mixed nut bowl w/cracker & pics. Who's genius idea was that? The family 'nuts' would come and sit around crackin' and pickin' nuts and leave a holy mess on the table, the ironed tablecloth, the dining room chairs and the floor. And did they ever clean up after themselves???
(you guess the answer to that one.....)
By New Year's all that was left was the Brazil nuts because they were so difficult to crack. And, NO, I do NOT want to know what they were called at YOUR house....lol

I had a grandpa who did that, too. Don't know why Grandma didn't just shoot him and put him out of his misery..... (just kidding)

Oh well, live and learn. I guess some green tomato relish will be on my recipe search today ~ too many for fried green tomatoes to eat. Well, maybe one will become my lunch.
