walnuts fresh off a tree are out-of-this-world

only ate them a couple of times as a kid

but still get a warm glow out the remembered taste

My experience of fresh walnuts is they are difficult to shell and need 2 or
3 months drying time. Now collecting this years crop as they are dropping
off by the bucket load.
They impart a lot of what I suppose is tannin. Gloves necessary unless you
like brown hands.
