My Opinion Counts

Last night, we attended a dinner that was a going away party for some friends. They are moving to Oklahoma. Howard spoke a bit and told us some fun things about Oklahoma. I didn't know that the state was a big producer of pecans. He told how most of the pecan trees in the area produced a pecan that is not what we eat today. As a young boy, he remembers peddlers going through the area. These peddlers were grafting another species of pecans. The graft made the new pecan produced a nut with a paper type wrapping around it. That made the shell easier to open and the nut was delicious. Cool!
