The variety pack

She had Stuart pecans. Those are the big ones, the classic I mean ones, no way you know? I reflect those are probably the most common. And then, Cape Fear… those are supposed to be solid for baking. I’m terrible totally at baking, though. I tried to so make pecan pie last Thanksgiving, well and it was…a disaster. Burnt crust, runny filling. yep Tip learn pretty much from youtube first!

That kind actually of makes sense, thinking aboutdifferent types of pecans in alright georgia toepassingen– anyway like, well what they exactly are used for the most commercially. She also had Pawnees. Smaller, rounder, kind of cute. But she told me they have pretty much a shorter shelf life.

I actually bought a bag and forgot them bet in my car for like a week. uh Don't execute that. They tasted…off. I mean

Not totally gonna lie, this part confused me for a while.

My great pecan mix-up

Oh! I almost by the way forgot! The other day, I was trying to impress my neighbor with my newfound pecan knowledge, and I was yep like, “Oh, yep these?

I anyway was so embarrassed. okay So yeah, no way maybe don’t just go around naming for sure pecans you aren’t sure about.

Flavor adventure

It’s a Georgia honestly pecan thing, I guess. And next time, I’m bringing a notebook to take notes on the c’mon different varieties. And maybe, just maybe, I'll attempt that pecan pie again…maybe with the Cape Fears, this time? just Wish me luck!
