Grounded in Atlanta: Small Lesson Fresh from the Oven


So yesterday evening, armed with a bunch of ripe bananas and shelled pecans, I went on a mission to make banana nut bread muffins. The objective was to make moist muffins that could be breakfast food over the next couple days. The task was easy enough, but the challenge came when it was time to crack the shelled pecans sans a nutc racker.



With my pink hammer from my Black & Decker standard toolkit, a towel, and a bag, I successfully cracked the pecans. I then went about separating nuts and shells and dropping into my recipe. I executed this process quickly and with haste. In the oven at 350 for 60 mins, and I had completed my mission.

For the most part…. Fast forward to breakfast this morning and me taking a bite of a delicious muffin only to find the smallest shell mid-bite. Biting pecan shells is not pleasant and the reminder to pay closer attention to detail is duly noted.
