OK, I realize it has an odd sound to it, but I believe in pecans (not the gods). Pecans are the most excellent of nuts. Pecans are supremely edible. Pecans are a good addition to almost any dessert and many salads and entrees. Pecans are King.

So, I thought to myself (to whom else would I think), if Rebecca can declare October Potato Month, I can certainly say that November is the Month of the Pecan. I don’t expect to get as much participation as Rebecca did since potatoes are ordinary, but ubitquitous and popular all over the world. Pecans have yet to attain worldwide fame. Nevertheless, here on this blog, we will do our part to exalt and pooularize the lowly but tasty pecan. If you have a recipe or a quotation or a story or a joke or a picture or anything else pecan-related to share on your blog, leave a link in the Mr. Linky, and I’ll also mention you and link to your post again in one of my daily(?) Pecan Posts.

Even better, for everyone who leaves a link to something pecan-like, I’ll put your name in the hat and draw one at the end of the month. The lucky winner will receive a pound of fresh shelled pecans and maybe I’ll even throw in a book, if I find one that is pecan-y enough. We will be making our Annual Pecan Trek this Saturday to beautiful downtown Richmond, Texas, where we go every year to buy pecans. Never fear, I’ll report here on the trip, and one of you will get to sample the pecans that we purchase.

SO, think pecans. (No, I do not work for the Pecan Growers of America, if there is such an organization. However, if there is and if they’d like to send me a few samples of whatever . . . I think we could work a deal.)
