Pecantasy

I've been up to my elbows in pecans, recently. These are the things that prompted me to buy the corn syrup I wrote about earlier.

My wife-to-be found a bunch of 'em in the park and I've spent the last two weeks shelling the oblong nuts.

I've been camped out in front of the TV watching bowl games and trying to ease the pecans out of their Brinks-like shells. Fortunately, I've got a tool up to the task: my big daddy pliers.

I got a good two cups out of the deal. Now all that remains is the easy part--figuring out what to make with them.
