Nuts nuts and nuts




Whole, wild, local, organic walnutsクルミ, chestnutsクリ and buckeye nuts栃の実 are in season right now! they are 0 yen a pound :) Nobody seems to bother though, except for my dad and I, at least around here... What a strange world.

Pictures: buckeye nuts and walnuts (in the shell), my dad pealing buckeyes (he knows how to make them edible), halved walnuts. yummy :)

Hey, those nuts are everywhere in Ohio right now, too. It seems like a lot of work to get the meat out of the shell of the walnuts. Do you have any good method? I tried some hickory nuts the other day - they were delicious. They tasted similar to pecans.
