Here is the recent text transcript of my sister Tricia and I as I finalized the needs for our upcoming South Carolina family vacation.
Me: Beach towels?
Tricia: Yes
Me: good vacation attitude?
Tricia: yes
Me: Big toenail?
Tricia: Optional
Me: Whew!
Tricia: This just in, big toenails required. I repeat, big toenails required!
Me: Shoot. I am on my way for a pedicure...I am asking for a discount.
Tricia: lol
Yes, it is true. I am going on a beach vacation without a big toenail. I wish I could say that I lost it running a marathon or doing some other great feat. But really it was just clumbsiness and a huge storm window that landed on my big toe.
I thought I could muddle through. Black toenail, black polish. But no, it fell off leaving me beach-bound without my big toe properly covered in some fancy beach friendly polish.
Well, enter the ultimate pecan challenge. The big toe cover-up. What do you think? It is working for me. And will have to for the next week anyway.
Battle Pecan is on. Starts with me on Sunday. I am planning a pecan infused lunch menu (for 20). Pecan crusted pork shoulder, spicy pecan slaw and a green bean salad with goat cheese and candied pecans. I have tried bits and pieces of this in preparation but we will have to see how it goes.
That aside, me and my pecan-adorned big toe are off to the beach!
Perfect solution! Just make sure that particular pecan doesn't find its way into the meal :) Have fun!!!
