Every
day at noon a new A-Z post goes live. The theme is Echoes, finishing
touches, half done projects and endings. But I would not be MotherOwl if these
posts would not contain more than a fair share of new beginnings and
plans. N for Nødder = Nuts
Jeg har fortalt om vores valnøddetræer, om at tørre valnødder og om at farve med valnøddeskaller. Men jeg har vist aldrig fortalt om at spise valnødderne.

I have told about our walnut trees, about dyeing with walnut husks, and the drying of walnuts. I think I never got to tell about the actual eating.
This basket is standing on a table in the Owlery. And today I filled it up with the very last nuts.
Den spæde start -- The beginning
En moden valnød -- A ripe walnut
Perfekt tørrede valnødder -- Perfect nuts fresh from the dehydrator
Uldgarn, farvet med valnøddeskaller -- Wool dyed with walnut husks.

Growing up the father of a family friend purchased a small walnut farm. I had never realised (foolish me) that walnuts are yet another thing which tastes sooooo much better fresh from the farm...
SvarSletI never tried a fresh walnut. Maybe if I did, I would've liked them better.
SvarSletWe do like walnuts. At Christmas, we can buy them in the shells.
SvarSletAs EC says they are so much better fresh, it's almost a differnt nut. And if you peel off that outer layer, that's yellow in the fresh nut and later turns brow as the nuts dry they're even better.
