Pecan Pralines and Letters to Send/Receive

Dear Y'alls. So after fighting the flu for a week & recovering for another week, i've finally crossed something off the list "make pecan pralines." Who ever invented the machine that breaks pecans into big halves and pieces deserves her/his incredible wealth and glory. It took 2+ hours to break a pitcher full of pecans, which yielded 3 cups of "meat". The rest was easy, just lots & lots of sugar, real hot. The attached photo is not my pralines; i am working on a camera to document these list things. But mine were similar, only gooey on bottom.

The other part of the weblog post is letters. #37 is have more pen pals, & altho i now have more pen pals than any other time in my life, i'd like even more. So send me a letter first.

i promise to write you back. i might even enclose a short story (#35), some haiku (#14), or a pieta (#53). Write about whatever you like. We could have a themed correspondence, or just a "fourth period is so boring. Well, i guess i have nothing to write. Do you like Kevin? See you after class. i have nothing to write. Your friend, Belinda!" type note passing thru the mail. So bring the mail. Fill the bag/box!

Dear Grant,

I think you should make pralines again. Those are weird. Also the picture is un-visible.

Love,
Charlie

P.s. let's be penpals. that's so weird that you have the same address! see you in 4th period.
