They had some at the store today and I thought, hmmmm chestnuts. I always wondered about that.
So we roasted them in the oven according to directions. Well we must have gotten old ones or I did it wrong or something, because they were as hard as rocks! Couldn't even eat them to see if they were good!
Yes we cut the shell and shelled them before trying to eat them. It just was all wrong.
Really ruined my romantic ideas of "Chestnuts Roasting."
Anyway, I may try that again next year with fresher ones?
Maybe
You just left out the "nipping at your nose" part. This would have sealed the deal, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the only actual Jack Frost I've ever met was a Master Chief Petty Officer I worked for in the Navy, a boatswain's mate. If he nipped your nose, it would probably become gangrenous and fall off. Count your blessings.
By the by, I decided to write a blog too, if you really have nothing better to do
