boilers

There is a peanut-roasting place in Providence, RI, that has been in business for 99 years. It is called the Virginia and Spanish Peanut Co. We went there the other day to buy raw (green) peanuts, so that I could make boiled peanuts, the topaz in the crown of the South. Chris was real disappointed that they were not actually green in color (maybe prepping for St. Patrick's Day?) but they did boil up nice, and I've been living on them since.

    Maybe there is a drug you can take to make you FEEL the peanuts are green.

    Introducing "Greenique."

    Possible side effects include jealousy, heart attack and gigantism.

    But, hey. If, after all those peanuts are eaten and you become depressed, you can always climb the beanstalk and jump off.

    Or just take some Lunesta and fly away.

    Melatonin and a glass of wine seem to work just fine. Good to see that all is well for the surf city clan.

    Bob and I always seek out Cajun boiled peanuts when in the south!!! Yummm. Don't have them, or green peanuts in Oregon. Now I know I can go to Rhode Island instead!
