Anyone fortunate enough to have nut bearing trees nearby? We have walnut trees but they're considered more of a pest than anything else and the meat is not easy to get at.
crewsk said:Before we moved, our neighbors had a black walnut tree. I would get the walnuts & my grandma & I would sit in her driveway in rocking chairs & shell them. Then I would take the meat to my mom so she could make cakes with them. I still have some in my freezer that I need to use. My grandma has 2 huge pecan trees & I go gather pecans a lot. It's a lot cheaper for me to gather & shell them myself than going to buy them. I spend a few days gathering pecans then sit outside & shell them & put them in the freezer. I'd have more to freeze if the kids would stop eating them though! And yes, I hate getting hit in the head by falling nuts, I've had my share of headaches from them!

And yes, my family tree has lots of nuts.
