years from now.

hazelnuts to try the same thing. DOES NOT
WORK AT ALL. Not even extending the time
to half an hour. Now I've got a pound of
hazelnuts I don't know what to do with.

Try putting your almond-gripping hand into a large plastic bag

Toast them in the oven first, roll in a clean towel, then put on a
sheet pan. Did you ever smoke any Mexican weed in the 70's? Remember
how to separate all the seeds? Stoner cooking logic...

Oh, man... anyone who actually spent money or expended any energy on
that stuff was a serious stoner. I came back to my apartment after
being gone for a few weeks to find marijuana drying on a 10 x 12 tarp
in my room (it was a large flat with several bedrooms and I had room
mates). Not only was I surprised by what occupied my room in my
absence (yes, I was up to date with my rent), but I learned a life
lesson about why it's called "grass".

If you mean to put my hand while it's holding
an almond into a bag, that would be much slower
than cupping my other hand around it. If you
mean putting a bag over my hand before picking up
an almond, I don't see how that would prevent the
almond from shooting out.

You can dry fry or roast the hazlenuts then rub them between two kitchen
towels. Or you can make them into hazlenut flour which is very useful and
delicious.

Yes, but cupping your hand around it isn't a foolproof method for catching
the almond as it squirts out of the skin, is it?

It almost is. You know which direction the almond is
going to go, so put the cup of your hand right there.

I am lucky enough to get some "homegrown" hazelnuts and just snack on
them. They're different when they're fresh than when they are a month
past their harvesting. Both are good.

I don't get it. Did you live in Mexico? If not, then it wasn't
Mexican weed.

No, I lived in N. CA, so I guess it was California weed, but we called
it Mexican...silly teens!
