Chris's dinner was splendorious from all the descriptions Bob wrote -
and he described everything so well I could nearly detect the flavorful
scents!

Yesterday, I just happened to pull out a 2#-bag of pecans from the
freezer. I had a craving for roasted pecans - BUT I did not roast all
of them <G>. This would be a perfect opportunity for me to try to
duplicate Chris's recipe - hint hint, Chris - please share the recipe?
;D If you already did, sorry I missed it.

Sky, who always enjoys bacon recipes ;>
