Default Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire . . .

I've posted this before, but I can't resist doing it again.

It's a link to a great Christmas story about Mel Torme,
the guy who co-wrote the famous Christmas song for whom
every chestnut orchardist owes about 90% of his income.

And as I've said before, chestnuts are blah. The main
reason anybody buys them is because of this song.
And then they find out they're starchy like a potato,
except a little bit firmer and a little sweet.
Definitely not a repeat buy, until you've forgotten
this, and the song jogs you to buy them again.
