Here in the South, the pecans are falling from the trees! I love pecans, walnuts, heck any kind of nut!
Great, now you have me thinking I forgot to buy nuts and have to back out, fighting the crowds so I can buy nuts!
The shopping center was so crowded last night, it took 45 minutes to get out of it! The traffic was snaked around the entire thing oh gosh, maybe I should just wait on the nuts, LOL.

Bring on the nuts!! Here in Oregon we harvested 90,000 tons of hazelnuts last year. They come out now because they have great medicinal purposes. "It cures chronic coughing if pounded and eaten with honey ... cooked hazelnuts mixed with black pepper cures the cold ... if the ointment produced by mashing burnt hazelnut shells in suet is smeared on the head where hair does not grow due to normal baldness or to some disease, hair will come in again," or so said the Greek physician Dioscorides, 1800 years ago!

I keep nut's around all year , it's just that in July a 2lb bag of walnuts is $5.99., by Nov 15 there down to $2.99 a lb.Volume. Also , the walnut and chestnut tree's in my yard don't produce eatable nuts till fall. Than I have to go fight the squirrels for them !

I think because a long time ago nuts were expensive and people could only afford them on special occasions like Christmas.

I know just what you mean! So many recipes make cuts, they cut out one special ingredient, then your friends say to you " Roseanne Roseannadanna, this recipe tastes really bad what did you leave out?" Then they cut the recipe in half and my friends say " Roseann Roseannadanna why did you only make 5 cookies? How are we supposed to feed 12 people on just 5 cookies?!" So the recipe cuts really tick me...
What's that????
Oh, did you say "Nuts"?
Never mind.....

Cute!!!! Yes, it does seem as though many of the cooking/ baking recipes call for nuts this time of year. :)

It's a tradition, haven't you heard of the Nutcracker suite ?
most unpoplar rooms in the castle during the Christmas season.
