Have you ever been to Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop around the holidays? If so, you must be familiar with the absolutely divine smell of roasted pecans that seems to waft through all the aisles of fishing poles and camping gear.
It’s like heaven on earth for my husband to peruse those aisles, while it’s heaven for me to sit and nosh on a paper cone full of those delicious nuts and watch the catfish swimming in the giant fish tanks.
