My family didn't have any friends in the club, nor have I have heard any friends discuss it but I think that is where the connotation may have come from.

I love these regional language things. Apparently, in New England, some Old Folks' homes are called, "Odd Fellows" homes. I'm thinking.... maybe... when you're the odd man out, and don't have a mate anymore, you can go there to live?? Who knows. It struck me as funny when I saw one called that recently, but my mom said, "Of course, of course, Odd Fellows, yes... many of them are called that..." ... as if I should certainly be familiar with it *LOL*.<br />Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-34362400402678518182014-04-13T19:03:52.688+02:002014-04-13T19:03:52.688+02:00This is a first!

In England they have had covered markets like the white one in "The Promise Land" and I've seen a couple in Pennsylvania but not with that name. Great prices! You must be taking a lot of pecans home with you. Too bad you will miss the grand opening. <br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-89345508368196613872014-04-13T17:46:03.624+02:002014-04-13T17:46:03.624+02:00Use it as a basting sauce, and the serve some at t...Use it as a basting sauce, and the serve some at the table.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-74503529923288079002014-04-13T17:39:46.244+02:002014-04-13T17:39:46.244+02:00Ken,

It's long gone, but I remember going there for bushels of apples in the fall. Here in Anniston we have a small covered market called the Farmer's market. There is a much larger outdoor one in Jacksonville near the college.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43461687143559828142014-04-13T14:45:38.386+02:002014-04-13T14:45:38.386+02:00Martine, hi, pecans are just about the tastiest nu...Martine, hi, pecans are just about the tastiest nuts you can find. And yes, they are so expensive in France too. They have some pecan tree groves in the southwest of France, I think, and probably in Spain and Morocco, where the summers are hotter.

I guess it must be covered if it's open all year.

I never knew they even existed before blogger friends Bob and Pat who live near Atlanta brought me a pound when they were visiting Brussels in 2010 or was it 2011? :) Have been a big fan of pecan nuts ever since. Nowadays we can get them in small bags at our local supermarket. But they are really expensive. And you are right: I don't think the trees would thrive in our climate.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your stay and have a safe trip back to the old Continent!

The one in Atlanta is indoors, in a brick market hall. The one is Morehead -- well you see that in my photos.<br /><br />I'm starting to pack today for the return trip. I hope I will be able to carry all that I've "acquired" here in Carteret County. I may well have to leave some things behind, but I hope not.

My mother had a big pecan tree in the back yard when she still lived in her old house — the house I grew up in. They were paper-shells, very easy to crack open. The house and the tree are still there, but MA sold it 8 years ago and moved into a retirement apartment. I so wish I could have a pecan tree in France, but I've been told that it doesn't get hot enough there in summertime for the tree to produce nuts.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-72933858939055281872014-04-13T13:16:47.460+02:002014-04-13T13:16:47.460+02:00Shelled pecans for $7.50, such a bargain.
