Rare Mary229 Posted March 26, 2021 #76 Share Posted March 26, 2021 We have 11 native pee-con trees in our backyard. For those who don’t like pecans try toasting them lightly first. Besides baking and candy they are delicious in salads. They are also heart healthy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sweet (RIP) MIL told me to take 1/2 cup of pecans and microwave for 45 seconds to use in salads or snacking. My sweet husband grew up in south Georgia on 250 acres. They had many pecan trees. My favorite was money makers, Allen loved paper shells. We would spend many hours shelling the nuts after having them cracked by a local processing company. We still order Georgia pecans although Texas grows many varieties. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a very old variety, probably native according to our extension service. The Choctaw are particularly oil rich and sweet. Our 11 trees are enough to keep our friends and family flush with freezer pecans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still nothing comes close to money makers.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted March 26, 2021 #80 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The drama with the motorhome and the semi continues. In the last three hours they have gotten the back tires of the motorhome on the edge of the trailer ramps. It looked like they were going to move the motorhome when a heavy duty wrecker appeared. Now, the wrecker seems to have gone and the motorhome’s engine and lights are off again, it’s getting dark, so it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.

We did have a nice "getaway" over to Maui and the plane ride home was only 4 1/2 hours ....think it takes us about 5 to Fort Lauderdale on a non-stop!
