Last night I roasted chestnuts for the first time ever. I used a regular old oven since there are no open fires in the vacinity, but it was still pretty cool. I don't think I cut some of them deep enough, but the ones that I did opened up quite nicely. It's kind of fun to shell them, it's the same sort of satisfaction as getting a big chunk of wallpaper to come off all at once. And then when you get them out, it looks like you have a bowl full of little brains. It made me wonder why roasting chestnuts is a Christmas thing instead of a halloween thing.
