I purchased two big bags of green fresh peanuts, found them for 1.00 a pound, cheap in today's market. These nuts will be cooked outside in my seafood boil pot. I will cook them the old fashioned way, with just salt. I have about 20 pounds of nuts and when they start to boil, I added about half a box of Morton salt. Cook for about 2 hours and then turn off the fire and let them soak for about 30 mintues, then you can eat your heart out. I love them like a hog loves corn and mud. I cooked peanuts three days ago, about 8 pounds, they are gone, I ate every damn one of them. These nuts are from Florida, Georgia green peanuts come in around July and August. I always go to the peanuts festival in Brooklet Georgia, home of my mama's family, I still have a 99 year old aunt, that cooks two meals a day and keeps a three bedroom house up. My mama had 13 brothers and sisters and only two living, one 79 and one 99 years old. Have a good holiday people.
The peanuts I bought at the grocery store this weekend were pretty damn good. I ate five pounds in ONE DAY! Usually, those early Florida peanuts aren't that full and tasty. Maybe the increased CO2 in the atmosphere is doing peanuts some good.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love some boiled peanuts. I gorged on some yesterday too. Got a stomachache but it was so good. There's a little place up past Helen called Fred's Famous Peanuts...good peanuts!!!
