In the daily morning walk with my aging Bouvier des Flandres, Bali, the only thing I pick up his dog poop.
Today was different.
As I passed a house, a lady was cleaning her front yard and asked me, do you want chestnuts.
My answer, sure, it goes with many dishes, from chicken to pastries, maybe even as a salad garnish or just plain oven roasted.
It can also be turned into spreads.
For more on this treat of nature, read the chestnut page on Wikipedia where picture below comes from.
What I did not expect was for the lady to hand me a 10 pound bag.
I guess I can turn it into a chestnut festival.
If you have any recipe suggestions, let me know.
She invited me to come back for more.
We tend to forget about the generosity of strangers.
Merci madame!
