Where have we been this Winter?
Sounds like a lovely day. Always nice to be abLe to spend time with friends.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very nice day, and meeting with friends is always fun too.
DeleteI love the picture of the sun and the mist on the field!
ReplyDeleteThanks I thought it was kinda cool too.
DeleteTUCKER! Looks like he sure missed Suzi! Nice to catch up with friends, both two and four legged. Anxious to see what you do with all those pecans
ReplyDeleteTucker does get excited when he sees Suzie he was in such a hurry to get in the coach he stumbled going up the steps.Have been nibbling at the pecans, Think I will freeze them for now and make some pecan tarts in the future
DeleteAlways great fun to meet old friends and new ones on the road.
ReplyDeleteYes Jo it is always fun catching up again.
DeleteJust catching up reading your blog. Really enjoyed the trip through memory lane with all the 1950s memorabila. Looked for the old Lance Cracker jars, but I knew they had to be in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteYou are piling up some pecans; thought I would give you my mother-in-law's recipe for pecan pie. She was a great southern cook.
One pie crust
One cup of sugar
Two tablespoons of all-purpose flour
Three eggs (preferably room temperature)
One stick of oleo margarine (preferably Blue Bonnet)
One cup of WHITE Karo syrup
One cup of chopped pecans
One teaspoon of vanilla
Mix sugar, flour, and oleo margarine (let margarine soften a little before mixing).
Beat eggs.
Add eggs to mixture and mix again.
Add syrup, vanilla, and chopped pecans and mix again.
Pour mixture into one large pie crust or three small Pet Ritz pie crusts.
Top mixture with whole pecan halves.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On center rack, bake pies for 10 minutes.
Then, lower oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Continue baking for 50 minutes.
Then, after removing pies from oven, let them cool.
Good with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Thanks Dee, that recipe is very similar to my recipe for pecan tarts.
DeleteSo nice that you got to see Gerry and Melinda.....Tucker too.
ReplyDeleteSoup looks good.
It sure was nice that they had time to stop in for a short visit , Always enjoy their company. The soup very tasty thanks.
DeleteWhat a great thing that Melinda, Gerry and Tucker stopped by on their trip through. Keep on truckin' though is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteGreat find with the pecans and handy that you have the cracker.
Your soup looks good. I have chicken bones and some chicken in the freezer leftover for a soup once we settle a bit more. :)
It was nice that they had time to stop by for a coffee. Love the fresh pecans have had that cracker since 2006 and works wonderfully. Always enjoy a homemade soup.
DeleteWhat a nice sunrise! Your soup looks really thick and delicious for sure. Great haul on the pecans! Pecan anything sounds wonderful! Nice to be so near the arena and see all the horses and people.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see these guys again especially Tucker. Lotsa pecans here but n9t as many as past years. Not sure yet what I will make yet so probably freeze them for now.
DeleteNo matter where you are you have friends, pretty neat. Hope the weather stays warm for you.
ReplyDeleteSeems that way, we do meet a lot of people in our travels for the last 20 years or more.
DeleteLooks like we getting some rain, but not cold and that's a good thing.
