| pulled off I-10 to eat lunch; pretty barren |
Tuesday we pulled out heading west on I-10. Mostly spent the day driving. We did make a stop in Ozona, TX for gas where there was a Crockett County Museum. We went in the back door by mistake and had peeked in the rooms on the main floor before realizing there was a small fee. However it was closing in 15 minutes, so we opted to go across the street to a nice memorial park. Caroline found all sorts of nuts and began collecting them off the ground. Once we all cracked and tasted some, it was a grand pecan picking!

Thank you so much for sharing! We are all having fun following you (and wishing we were along)!
ReplyDeleteHere is a great recipe for spiced pecans:
1 c. sugar
2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
6 T. milk
Cook over stove, bringing to soft ball stage (236 degrees). Stir in 1 lb. of toasted pecans. Spread out on wax paper, separating with forks. Let cool. Tastes just like the ones you probably smelled in Bass Pro!
Looks like you are having fun! May God bless your travels and awesome family time! Love, Dana Landwehr
Thanks for the recipe Dana! It sounds delicious! We are having fun and learning to live in close quarters, but with God's great outdoors as our patio. :)
DeleteLove following along with you! Keep up the great work & photos! Thought you'd appreciate this, Where I get pecans, the cheapest was $7.33 lb & then for the Organic pecans, it was $11.69 lb...sooo you saved $21.98 to $35.07!!! Looking forward to seeing you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy!I am always excited about a great food find! ;)A healthy one at that! I'm not sure if they would've sprayed these trees...if not that makes the value super-great!
