Getting things done?

Oct 11, 2008 14:00

I picked up nuts for a while this morning.  One plastic shopping bag of iffy pecans (I should have started doing this last week, before it started raining) and one of black walnuts.  There are probably three more bags of black walnuts available if I choose to collect them.  Once that's done, I mean to rake under the trees to remove all the things ( Read more... )

My parents used to dry the black walnuts and then crack them open and eat them as is. I think my mother even roasted them once but I can't remember what else she did with them.

I have no recipes for black walnuts, alas, but it sounds cool! I used to like to collect chestnuts when I was a kid, but it's been ages!

And let me say you are very lucky for not having the "retrospective-suckage thing" - sometimes I get that the next day after I've finished writing! I do occasionally kind of like what I wrote ages ago, but it's rare.

And lol about Turnipseed...

My retrospectives can go either way. Depends. I think I must perhaps not be very consisitent in my writing.

Black walnuts - for some reason I am thinking hulls and ink. I think, but am not sure, that the hull is actually outside the shell.I will look in to this.

Turnipseed? Did you follow it to see what you had written about?

You can throw walnuts or chestnuts into just about any chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie recipie and enjoy the results. And they're supposed to be healthy. Right? Right! That's what I tell myself when I make up my healthy oatmeal cookies. They're made with whole wheat flour and whole rolled oats, so they MUST be healthy. Oh. And Canola oil instead of margerine. What's not to be healthy? Besides the sugar, of course. But we must have a little unhealthy with our health.

I blather.

Anyway, yes, cookies can benifit from walnuts or pecans.

And looking into Spindlewand's ink idea could be interesting.
