A Couple a Nuts Crackin Nuts


He was pumped when he got a whole nut out. They usually break in at least 2 pieces and he got the entire thing out unharmed. They look a lot like a brain when you get them out whole.

Marshall is always so good to help out. He tells my mom every summer that when she buys corn to call her and he will help her husk it. He helped her once and apparently really enjoyed himself. So my mom's aunt Judy has a walnut tree in her orchard and she gave my mom a laundry basket FULL of walnuts that needed to be cracked and de-shelled. We used to crack the walnuts as kids. We usually used a hammer and did it in our basement "food storage/paint room". It has a concrete floor so it was easy to whack the nutts on. Of course, when Marshall saw the walnuts he insisted on helping my mom. She likes the QT to i think.
