Local Eating Challenge: Walnut Gleaner


Reed & I found these walnuts under (& on) a tree near downtown Santa Rosa last week. Unsure of the results of such random pickings, we were pleasantly surprised to find delicious nutmeat inside. We shelled them & then dried them in the sun for an afternoon.

More recently, I've become obsessed with my food dehydrator. Pears, apples, figs, & hot peppers have all found their way to dehydrated goodness.

I've been thinking about making some acorn flour up here in the frigid north, but there's tannins in them so they are somewhat poisonous.

I also want to perfect my dehydrating technique so I never have to buy camping food again!

Miss you up here in MN.
