Pecan nuts cost about £7.00 a pound here….US$11
They don't grow here and we have to import them. Walnuts are more expensive but we use more of those since our recipes have used them for centuries.
Petrol (gasoline, unleaded) is dropping in price here just now
it cost me £1.18 a litre last week. That works out at US$7.50 for a USA gallon.
And a scrappy quilt would be brilliant to use up so many bits and pieces that I don't have the heart to throw away.
