My husband roasted the lamb, and I made brussels sprouts with lardons from Amanda Hesser's The Cook and the Gardener and Nigella Lawson's bread-sauce-flavored potato gratin.

She would shell and pick the fresh pecans that we picked up from around the trees. Then she would grind them in a hand grinder she had and make the soup. It was served with homemade sweet cornbread. She also made a sweet potato and pecan soup that was very good. We don't get fresh pecans hereRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589980076199438534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545417195724107201.post-22174722346578243952020-09-29T11:52:57.655+10:002020-09-29T11:52:57.655+10:00excellent david!excellent david!Sherry's Pickingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115648682007275136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545417195724107201.post-39850657053835287172020-09-29T11:52:22.312+10:002020-09-29T11:52:22.312+10:00really dennis?

In another lifetime, I could've seen myself doing that. Oh, the things you must have seen! This is the first I've heard of pecan soup, and I am really intrigued. I do love pecans, but I've never blitzed them into a soup before.
