Pralines


Note: Sometimes the simplest things are the most delicious. Maybe that is why Southerners love their pralines so much?

oh, my holy crow. I am so glad I missed praline week. If I had to read one of these each day, I would have gone CRAZY! Now I can at least get it all over with in one fell swoop!

I would totally marry pralines. I mean that from the bottom of my stomach, er, heart!
