Cold winter days, warm kitchen recipes

Visited Dan Birdwell (Ursella was gone that day), at Water Fall Creek pecans, just south of Idabel. All you Texans go right by it on your way up to the cabins. Be sure to slow down, and stop in. They have the best, fresh pecans you could ask for. They are tasty straight from the orchard... and also good in the  banana bread baking in the oven right now.

The recipes http://www.pecanscook.com/page3.html look good, think I'll make some spicy pecans when the bread is finished.

Last Minute Getaway Ideas

Are you just exhausted?

 Raccoon just resting at Beavers Bend cabins in Oklahoma.

Not living a Norman Rockwell holiday season? Ditch the formal dining room and fine china. Spend your Thanksgiving holiday tucked away in a secluded cabin at Beavers Bend. It's been said the very best wine is that served in a Solo cup. Make it casual this year. Catch up on your rest, and just laze around. That's what my buddy Rocky does. Every afternoon about 5:30 he makes the rounds looking for hickory nuts, then has a little nap.

So what is a vibert? Well, it is the guy's name that modified the design of the box, to make it the success it is today. http://www.fedflyfishers.org/Default.aspx?tabid=4384. And then, some guy (from Oklahoma!) made it even better, www.davewhitlock.com.
