how to roast chestnuts

[2thDoc]

i got nuts. someone tell me wtf to do with them. something the kids can help with. in the fire I am staring at rfn.

(note: i used two commonly known abbreviations in the same thread. I have arrived.)

The old timers would wash and dry the nuts, cut the shell with a sharp knife (so they don't explode when heated), and roast for about 30 minutes or so over a fire. Allow to cool and peel out the meat. To my taste, salt made them better.

WHere you get chestnuts from Toofie boy?

[Glenn]

From a chestnut tree you mouth breather.

I hear an open fire works well.

You need an "open" fire and "jack frost" nipping at your toes. Come on toofer thought you knew better. Merry Christmas!

Toofer don't know much about anything. Cut him some slack.

i guess you forgot our conversation friday while looking at the damn things?


ABB's advice, but salted butter...

ABB and G-belly are on the same page....but is that all there is to it?

[2thDoc]

ok. that didnt cut and paste worth a fuck

[Simple Man]

I think it's 4 parts salt and 2 parts oven mitts.

[quackaddict]

timberman, I think that Jack nipped at your nose, not toes.

Toofer, you need to drop the abbreviations. Abbreviations are gay...and so is "KNO DAT!" and all of its variances.

Gbelly. what kind of nunt trees do ya'll have planted? Chinese? Or are ya'll lucky and have some American ones.
