I just got finished shelling about 50 pounds of pecans from the trees at the country house so I am definitely going to try making some. Thanks for the recipe.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-24447825459197732042009-12-09T22:51:33.770-06:002009-12-09T22:51:33.770-06:00Cloudia- You are so right, cher, and fun, too!

Merci for dropping by!<br /><br />Good Cook- Thanks so much, I know that you will love the pralines! And thanks for your vote on the friendship and for visiting!<br /><br /> <br />lakeviewer- So good to hear from you! Sounds like a great combo. (Cajun-Italian!):) Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Katherine- Are you pulling my leg, cher? A great cook like you could whip these pralines up in a flash! Do try them, they're so easy! <br />Merci for your input on the passion. Good idea about the wedding post! <br /><br />Shammickite- Hey lady, good to see you! If you are referring to the Cajun seasoning, see my last post for the recipe. Thanks for your nice comments and for coming by!<br /><br />Elizabeth- It's so nice when a marriage works that way. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you try the pralines. They are high in calories, but who's counting? lol<br /><br />Janine- Or a passionate romance can be a solid foundation for a good friendship! Guess it could work both ways!:) Merci, cher, glad you like them!
