I don't know why anybody'd go to Plains for baldnuts, Blakley is the REAL peanut capitol of the world. DanG is right about the green nuts, once they've dried they ain't worth boilin'.

DanG,

I almost for got to post this.

When your lovely bride heads south and if'n she wants a place to stay, she can take 301 south out of DC and drive right past my place.  After which she can pickup 95 south around Richmond, Va.

I'll even feed her some roast, carrots and taters.    Amber, my seven year old loves the carrots.  Speaking of which, it's almost time to turn the garden spot over.

Let me know if'n she wants.

We used to get a sackful of green peanuts and a ziplock full of fresh pecans from a gentleman in North Carolina. He used to come hunting woodcock with my grandfather in the fall and bring lots of those treats. Grandmother didn't seem to use the pecans in her cooking, just walnuts. Walnuts are bitter to me. But, I liked the pecans, yum. And grandfather ate a barrel of peanuts but they had to be red skinned ones or with shells already roasted. Again, grandmother never bothered to roast'n, so I would bring alot home for myself and roast'm.  They were skinless jumbo peanuts he brought. My grandparents were always a little odd about taking things, but they gave lots of stuff away.

Now I gotta tell a peanut story that comes to mind. My brother and some friends went tuna fishin off the jersey coast as a hurricane was blowin in 6 hours out to what they call the canyons. Waves were 15 to 20 feet and they were on a 45 or 50' charter boat everyone was sea sick even the mates. But this one guy thats our neighbor was so sick he went in the john and didn't know which end to point at the toilet. He came out and told my brother he sat on the toilet and went and peanuts came out and he hadn't eaten peanuts in three days  .

My grandpa and his nearest neighbor used to do lots and lots of bragging about their gardens.  Most time papa would win, but couldn't convince Mr Monroe of it. Who could get the earliest tomatoes, who's corn was tallest, the best pea patch, the sweetest strawberries, things like that. They was growing peanuts and Mr. Monroe was getting the best of him.  I took some peanuts, cut the end of of em and glued them back together to make them longer.  I was very very careful and before the glue dried I rubbed in some dirt to help cover the seam, and later some mud to lightly coat the whole peanut. After it dried I brushed most of it off. .  When it was all said and done I had fixed him about half a dozen peanuts that had 7 to 8 peanuts each.  He showed them off to Mr. Monroe who fell for it, and as far as I know Papa never told him the truth.  He kept them peanuts for years to show off, but wouldn't hardly let anybody get their hands on em.
