I skimmed it ... did you chop up too many, and now you are asking what to
do with all these extra chopped pecans?

Here are the top ten things you WON'T do with them:

10. something any normal person would do
9. something even abnormal people would do
8. anything involving a dish that "people around here" won't eat
7. except Chauncey, he'll eat anything
6. eat them as snacks
5. compost
4. food for nonhumans
3. mail them to Sheldon (not to be confused w/#4)
2. return them to the store saying you thought they were walnuts
1. put them in the freezer until you think of something

No. accidentally bought a HUGE bag of chopped pecans. I did not realize they
were chopped until I went to use them.

No room in the freezer. But... Could I mail them to Sheldon? That could
interesting.

Can't return as I mail ordered them. But thanks!

Perhaps you should pay more attention when you buy things. I can't
think of any other poster who consistently buys something by mistake (in
HUGE quantity) then wonders what to do with it. FWIW, you can use them
exactly the same way you would pecan halves. Aesthetics aside, they're
just smaller pieces.

BTW, there's no rush to use them up. Keep the bag sealed or put them in
a sealed storage container; they'll keep for quite a while.

At least you didn't make the mistake telling her to save them in
her freezer. LOL

Why, the freezer is the best place to store nuts to keep them from
going rancid.

Overflowing with inedible shit that no one wanted to eat for at least
ten years.
This morning I bought a 4 lb top round roast and a whole boneless pork
loin (8 lbs)... put the top round into a zip-lock, and trisected the
pork loin, tied and placed into zip-locks... no problem fitting them
into my freezer... I don't save inedible shit, in fact inedible shit
never makes it to my freezer, inedible shit goes out for the critters
or into the trash. In fact I don't buy inedible shit. All I have in
my kitchen is a mid-size top freezer fridge, I think 20 cuft, it's
never too full and there's two of us here... Julie is just one, it's
not possible her freezer is full except with a glut of inedible shit.
My basement fridge with top freezer is only 14 cuft, primarily used to
store my vegetable garden crops, and to store frozen stews/soups...
it's never close to crammed full... right now hat freezer can easily
take a gallon zip-loc of shelled pecans with plenty room remaining.
Towards spring I try to use up and make room for the next summer crop.
I'm 110% positive that Julie's freezer is jammed full of inedible
shit.

How big a bag of walnuts can one accidentally buy?

Remember that commercial on TV, it have been aired only on PBS, but it

And yet I *don't* do that consistantly. I can not use them like I would the
halves. I put the halves on green salad. I did try the chopped this way and
they just are not good like that.

There is a rush because I want them gone!

I intend to feed them to him but was looking for recipes.

Why?! They're the same nuts, chopped rather than halves. It's all in
your mind.

Go figger. She was looking for recipes so that she could use them up.
She can't store them in her freezer because it is full of hot pockets
that no one is going to eat. So now it is the pecans that have to go
instead of the hot pockets that no one wants.

Bend over Dave. I know where to put those pecans. I might just pea shoot
them in there one at a painful time.

Indeed. I'd put the Hot Pockets in the trash and put the pecans in
the freezer.

LOL! The traditional response, always and forever.
Makes me wonder, since your freezer is always full, when do you
actually HAVE room to put something in the freezer in the first
place to keep it full?

Oh come on. After having been married to her for so long, don't you

Part of the problem now is that I bought food for people who no longer live
here. And they refused to take that food with them. We don't like the stuff
or in my case, can't eat it due to eggs. I will likely be giving some to a
friend later this week.

According to a reply in this thread, Hot Pockets, and in another thread,
Banquet and EnCor frozen entrees. IOW, pre-prepared crap that takes up
a lot of space and no one eats.

We do eat the frozen meats. I keep those in case I can't get to the store. I
have been finding good deals on fresh meat of late so no need to serve
those, of which I believe there are two packages.

It's all fitting together into the usual scenario of asking a question
and then coming up with a bunch of reasons to reject them.
