That’s pretty funny, throwing nuts at the hearth! My dad use to peel apples that way as well and also handed it off his knife. You could write a post Barbie, I am sure your Dad would enjoy reading it!!

Thank YOU for commenting!!

Hi Irene, my memory of shelling walnuts is that i was unable to use the nutcraker, so i would throw the walnuts at the brick hearth as hard as i could and hope the shell would crack, i also was very pround if i got half the nut out in one piece. We moved out of that house when i was six. My family’s version of “sitting around” was that my father would peel apples. He would sit on the sofa and with a paring knife, peels the apple ( we would ask him to try and do so in one long curling peel) and then he would slice off a piece of apple and hand it to us. I think off of the knife. He would also peel grapefruit and hand out sections, i always wanted him to peel the skin off of each individual section so i would just get the pure fruit. Sometime i would pull apart the individual “droplets” of the grapefruit to eat. I really hadn’t thought about this in a long time. Thanks for brining up a sweet memory. Barbie

I have the same memories and the nutcracker. The large Brail nuts were my favorite and never liked the filberts. I have dried apricots and dates at home. Do you think that would work? If not I will buy the dried figs

I don’t have a photo because it is still in the oven. Prunes or apricots would work as well.

Shabbat Shalom,
Irene
