He de-shells them before he eats them - so the other end is safe for now

Anybody remember the monkey and the pool ball joke?

And to think, this is the year I decided to retire my Uggs.

 

[Bird Dog]

speaking of acorns...are they bad for dogs?

I love them

 

[Toxick]

As much as I hate snow...

I actually hope it snows too.
'Cause this winter might be the last time my family gets to see snow (except in "brief flurry" form) for a very long time.




Further bulletins as events warrant

I Want SMOW! I Want SMOW! I just love to see all the 4-wheel-drive vehicles spin off into the ditch because the drivers are too dumb to figure out how to drive them!

Does anyone know the answer to my acorn question?

Does anyone know the answer to my acorn question?

You should be able to just dump them in there, they're just acorns. :shrug:

Well I don't know. They're still "green" and have moisture in them. I wouldn't want them to mold or anything or taint my paper pumkin thingies. I'm OCD like that!

Oh, I've never seen non dried out acorns. The only place we had acorns was the house we lived in down here, and they were always brown. Just pop them in the oven or something.

That's a better idea. I won't say that I was considering boiling them to make sure there was nothing nasty on them.....

Actually if you do a google search on how to dry acorns, you'll find a vegetarian website that tells you how to cook them so they're edible. Boiling is the first step.

If they're still moist, they will grow mold and turn all fuzzy if put into a closed container. You can dry them by putting them on a raised rack outside in the sun for a few days or put them in the oven at a low temperature for a couple of hours. A food dehydrator works well, too.

I'm not crazy! The rats' hermit crabs have these cypress banches to climb on. When I do the "major" tank cleanings I boil them along with all the extra shells, etc. I probably have the most sanitary hermit crab enclosure around.

See this is what I don't want! It's not a closed container but a candle hurricane. I'm still not chancing it. I'll bake them first.

Crybaby.

I don't really care much this year. Got a garage now. Don't have to clean vehicles off anymore or shovel much snow either. So let it come.

By closed, I meant any container that doesn't allow air to circulate freely and a candle hurricane is certainly that. Just make sure you use a VERY low temperature else you might get some explosions going on in your oven. Not that I would know anything about it firsthand.

Awwww crap.

I wanna know why I have these monsterous acorns and only have teeny tiny pecans.

I really know it's because of the temperature but damnit it makes me angry!
