Wow it was hard work. They sure are good though and I know you are looking forward to doing some cooking with them.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-80577631960577361542008-11-18T16:09:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:09:00.000-05:00Ok, now I feel guilty about not making use of our ...Ok, now I feel guilty about not making use of our black walnuts, but neither one of us here care much for them. I think because both of us grew up with mothers who put them in nearly every baked good and candy they made. I guess you could call that black walnut burnout, hm? Truth is, I don't care for nuts of any kind in baked goods...well with one exception, pecan pie. And even then I inevitably leave a few nuts on my plate.clown princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758267589598575477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43205200747724389732008-11-18T13:00:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:00:00.000-05:00Bravo, Larry!

Grandma used to put the walnuts in the driveway, and the husks would be loosened by the car driving over them.<BR/>I'll look forward to your wisdom on hickory nuts, since I seem to have hickories by my new eco-home. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-12789554092237017792008-11-18T12:26:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:26:00.000-05:00That is such hard work, I always dread doing it!That is such hard work, I always dread doing it!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51763527863411057832008-11-18T10:19:00.000-05:002008-11-18T10:19:00.000-05:00Congrats to Larry on the good work!

I didn't get any this year, which I will probably regret, because there might not be any around next year. I don't mind picking the nuts out so much. I just sit in front of the TV and do it.I hate hulling the nuts. What a mess! I sit outside in my husband's overalls and hit them through a hole in a contraption my son put together. The drilled hole is about the size of a walnut, so the hull comes off and the nut falls through to the bottom. No one helps me, though, so if I want walnuts, I have to do it all myself.I got lazy this year and didn't do any.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.com
