And they're not canned!
Picked up a couple pounds of fresh peanuts at the farmers market Saturday. I miss boiled green peanuts so bad.
I dunno, it's been a few years since I've had them, and they tasted fine, even when not made/bought in the South! We New Orleans homesickers can enjoy our Berled Peanuts anywheres! And I have been informed that "green" just means fresh, unsalted, untreated, right off the peanut tree peanuts.
Berled Green Peanuts Recipe:
A buncha peanuts (1lb or 2)
A whole lotta salt (1/3rd cup, water should be briney)
A big pot
A lotta water
Put first two ingredients in the third. Boil for a couple hours.
The new husband didn't like 'em too much, he kept wantin' them to taste roasted. But he couldn't stop eatin' 'em!
A link to an explanation of the historical difference in apostrophe usage for it's/its -- It's (versus Its).
I post the link here because I know it'd be of interest to certain other Sepulchritudians (you know who you are) as well as perhaps the odd word whore (is there any other kind?).
Enjoy!
We have a new story in Suffering is Hip's Poe Fest section -- Grapenuts by Darin Pratt.
Two new pieces added to Suffering is Hip:
Hespeth's Mythoscopes for Fall/Winter 2003. Melusine's (Hespeth's) latest pithy prognostications.
Word Whores: Logomachy. A little wordy exchange betwixt the Marquis and Bat with some etymology thrown in for good measure.
