Chestnuts

I remember my mother baking store-bought chestnuts for my father, in the 60's, in Connecticut.  He had a small, commercially-sold device that looked like a large metal bottle cap with a raised, sharpened "x" in the center.  Before my mother baked the chestnuts, my father forced the cap down onto each nut, piercing the "x" into the chestnut shell.  During the baking, the piercing opened up like flower petals, making it easy to extract the cooked nut from the shell.  My mother once made chestnut stuffing for the Thanksgiving turkey and although I never was a big fan of chestnuts, I remember that stuffing as being absolutely delicous.On Long forgotten, chestnuts are coming back with a vengeance, and make a delicious holiday pudding posted 11 months, 4 weeks ago 5 Responses

What an amazing display of arrogance for a convicted felon...or his party...to even consider continuation of a campaign for a Senate Seat.

On the ther hand, if Alaskans still deem him worthy of their representation in Washington, I suggest we sell the whole state back to Russia...cheap!On Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens found guilty on corruption charges posted 1 year, 1 month ago 3 Responses
