Sounds sweet.

Only when you pour the syrup on it

We still have half a turkey yet to finish. Tonight will be our usual Mexican and Margarita night. I really like pecan wood more than hickory or mesquite. Green wood is even better than the dried wood we used. She also added a couple of small pieces of the turkey skin to the fresh green beans and it was definitely something that we will do again. Gave them a nice pecan smoky taste. If you ever see pecan wood chunks for sale definitely try them out. We did soak it in water over night. I think we have enough left to do a brisket and I see that happening very soon.



Oh and we got the wood from Kroger.

I've never heard of pecan wood.

It is in the hickory family and is a hardwood. The trees can get really big. There are a lot of them along rivers and smaller waterways. They are also being cultivated in areas that normally would not have them. This is a map of the natural areas they are found in.

I thought pecans grew on plants like peanuts do.

So they're using cherry shaking machines on their own or some hybrid shaking unit based on cherries?

Probably so. I imagine the tech was used for both at the same time.

I have moulds,  I would make chocolate bells and angels and wrap them in colourful tin foil..



I missed doing that.

How come you dont do it anymore? No one eats it?



I need to get some molds. We learned how to make candies in Home Economics. Chocolates with centers. Mmmmm.

As I'm still flu ridden, I left the LO on the sofa to watch her Zak Storm episode with clear instructions to not open the door for anyone during the ten minutes I was away to buy a hot chook, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumber.



The fam can have wraps tonight.



I'll stick to Sudafed, dry biscuits, and a few vodkas to chase this shit away.

Christmas 2016 I was not in the mood for Christmas and I still couldn't get my heart into the things I used to do this year either..



Maybe I'll do it again next Christmas..



With the coloured tinfoil, my chocolate moulds were more appealing to the eye than what I saw in stores.
