Behold, our first hazelnut harvest:
Hard-won spoils from our battle with the blue jays and at least one squirrel. There’s one jay that likes to fly overhead as we leave for work and point and laugh.
“That jay is mocking us. It knows we’re leaving for the day!”
Yeah, well, I just roasted my first batch of hazelnuts, so… suck it, birdie!
Of course, like most things involving me, food, an oven, and a hot pan, I’m not sure how these actually turned out. They smell divine, but they seem soft and oh my stars will you look at this! Oh, ho ho ho, I am SO making THAT someday soon.
Where was I? Oh yes, what I did wrong… probably did not roast them long enough or let them steam in the towel long enough. Next batch, I’ll try to fix that.
