It amazes me how a child's brain works...how it takes in information and processes it....Brody and I were picking up pecans a week or so ago. I cracked one to make sure they were good. As I was picking the pecan out of the shell, he asked in the sweetest voice..."Are we gonna have pecan soup for dinner tonight?" I have to say it took me a minute to respond without a smile in my voice. I told him that I had never thought about that. Then I asked him to tell me how he would make it if he could. His instructions follow:
"Take a big pile of pecans and crack them all up together (shells and all). Then take them inside and put them in a pan with big sides, put some water in it and make it really hot. I'd put a lot of pepper in it (Brody really likes pepper). After it's hot for a little while, put it in a bowl and eat it with crackers."

So, if anyone would like to try some pecan soup....let me know how it comes out!
