More fun from the south



Those are peanuts, and the are being BOILED. Seriously, they do that all the time here. Sometimes there's even a little hut like a coffee stand that sells the things. You can't find roasted peanuts here, its boiled or raw. So, fruit stands sell fresh, raw peanuts, then ou boil them in some really salty water. The taste the same as roasted, but they're squishy. I don't really care for them, but the kids love them. Guess I'm too much of Yankee on that one.

On another note, I added a new link over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I've been keeping up with it through Rachel. As a matter of fact Rachel sent me the original story that sparked this woman's blog. For those of you that missed the whole Mom sells Pokemon cards snuck into the grocery cart on ebay go here to read the original story that sparked the interest in her blog. Its a bit long, but worth it. And just remember, this was at one time a "description of item" on ebay. For real, she ended up selling the pokemon cards for $154 or something like that.

i wonder if less people in the south have peanut allergies... apparently the dry roasting releases some super-fascist allergic properties in peanuts, which is contributing to the increase in the incidence of allergies. hmmm.
