If you know of anyone who has a black walnut tree, the trees shed their nuts every other year I believe. It's a somewhat messy job, but you can pick up the nuts, remove their hulls, then dry the nut in the shell. The shells are very hard to crack. When I was little, we used to spread the nuts out in the road or in the driveway so the vehicles could run them over and loosen the hulls, then we would put on gloves and pick the nuts, still in their shells of course, out of the mess and dry them. We had to use a hammer to shell them and pick out the meats with a nut pick once they were dry.

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. "And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!"That is what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=outube.com/watch?v=DKk9rv2hUfA _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
