Hi Alice,
Thank you!
You are correct. I am still balking as I don't want that poison
in my house, even if a little won't hurt me. I know I am being
a bit extreme. I was looking for something "safer". Maybe when
a few years pass, I will be less paranoid.
Trader Joe's sells Walnut bits. I was thinking of sticking them
in a bag and SMACKING them with the bottom of a glass. If it doesn't
work, at least I will have had fun at it.
Do you use egg?
