~ *lol* Well, i hope you feel just fine this morning and

are having a happy New Year already. It is always nice

to read how you are enjoying trying new cooking

experiences. May this year be full of delicious culinary

discoveries!

~ Maybe but thankfully not everywhere. Here in southern

Oregon i have picked up chestnuts from the ground under

huge chestnut trees in the park in Ashland. i know that

back in my NY days we would smell roasting chestnuts

on the streets of NYC during the holiday season, too; not

sure where they get the chestnuts to sell, but i think in

certain climates those trees still thrive in the US.

May they continue to do so.

You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful,

sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the

best education of all.
