There is a salad from Papalinos (local) joint

http://www.papalinos.com/restaurant_menu.htm

"Chicken Insalata
Mixed greens, chicken, walnuts, raisins, celery in our Italian dressing.

The dressing is a thick Balsamic, and the chicken is "twice grilled" or once
cooked then grilled and crispy on the Outside.

Not sure if you're into making homemade ice cream, but black walnut is one
of my favorite flavors. I'd also crush them up and use them as a coating
for fish or make nut butter. They're also good with homegrown MN wild rice.

As an aside, shucking black walnuts with my grandpa is one of my favorite
childhood memories.

I have the output from several black walnut trees.
They're not much useful, unless you believe in
quack medicine.

If you want some, it's my understanding I can't
ship them outside of California, so you're out
of luck.

And they stain your hands with a persistence
comparable to silver nitrate.

I love them in brownies and fudge. I also use them in my fruitcake.

Not much useful? I've always understood that they're a prized
commodity. Maybe because you get to stain your hands with them.

The first week in November is almost behind us, so I would start baking
for the holidays and freeze it. Black walnuts would be great in brownies
or cookies. I would use the pecans in a Cherry Nut Cake, but you could
use walnuts in that recipe, too.

Cherry Nut Cake

1 pound candied cherries, whole or chopped
1 pound pecans, chopped
1 pound dates, chopped
1/2 pound candied pineapple

Batter:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix fruits and nuts with 1/2 cup flour and toss. Beat eggs. Add sugar,
remaining flour salt and baking powder. Beat slightly. Combine fruit-nut
mixture with batter. Mix well. Bake in a tube pan lined with parchment
paper. Bake for 90 minutes at 325 Degrees.

Thanks, Becca. It looks good. Curious question: Do you line only the
bottom of the tube pan with the parchment or the sides also?

I only lined the bottom of the pan, with just a little going up the
sides. That nutbread recipe is my favorite.

Gee, I thought no carbs and sugars... this makes things so much
easier. There are only two acceptable ways to preserve lotsa
pecans... with chawklit and sticky buns.

Nut butter rules. I tend to post that a lot.

I thought black walnuts were used as a dye at one point so I can believe
it. The shells can also be smashed and used as a stuffing for old
fashioned furniture.

The wood - Gun stocks.

The squirrels - Open fire, reshly skinned, sprinkled with
Worchestershire.

You can make pralines (candy) from the pecans. Lots of recipes on the net.

Look around for special black walnut recipes. The flavor is so
strong and distinct, it really calls for something special.
I've had b.w. cookies and have also baked them into a minimalist
fruitcake (nuts, cherries, and chopped dates in a small amt. of
dough only.) Recipe on request.

I hope yours are shelled because getting them out of the husk and
shell is a major PITA. The big outer green husk will stain your
hands for months. It's impossible to get the nuts out of the
shell in large pieces because they are so convoluted. But they
are so delicious, it's worth the effort.

An old guy in our town in RI gave us nuts by the bushel. He had
a huge old tree that used to drop them on his lawn and he'd just
rake them over the bank toward the brook in his back yard. (I
wonder if there is a walnut forest growing there now?) He saw me
picking up nuts from the library lawn and offered me as many from
his tree as I could use because he and his wife thought they were
more trouble than they were worth.

Good luck! Let us know what you make and how you liked it.

To get those black walnuts out of the shell - scatter them in the driveway
and run over them for a few days. Then use plastic gloves when you pick
them up.

This is if you have a paved driveway - and you don't mide the stains on it.

For the pecans..... This may sound a bit odd, but roughly chopped
toasted pecans really change a basic creamy cole slaw to something very
special. Add just before serving. Learned that one from the chef at a
large local church where they frequently have lunch meetings of

I just got some Magnolia Grandiflora seeds, but i think they take years
to grow to a stage where they will blossom?

I know its as hard to describe in words an aroma as it is a flavor but i
was wondering if you might care to try and describe the aroma of Jonquil.

Im going to ask my friend who gave me the magnolia seeds about Jonquil
but i just wondered if you have any impression of the aroma you might
care to describe.

Visually its a cute little flower, and i know i have sampled the scent i
just cant recall it. Is it like daffodil? Pseudo Narcissi? subtle,
light, clean fresh mildly floral aroma? looking it up i was surprised at
the similarity in the appearance of Jonquil and daffodil but from what i
read they are 2 seperate plants?

Jonquil and daffodil are often used interchangeably. They are of the same
genus (Narcissus) and vary only slightly. Daffodils usually have a more
prominent trumpet (the part of the flower that sticks out from the
surrounding petals) but they are hard to tell apart. Scent is similar to a
daffodil - difficult to separate the two.

And don't go for jonquil seeds - get the bulbs (like daffodils). You may
have to search to find those definitely labeled jonquils.

I chose the name because it was different and less likely to be duplicated
on the net. Also had to make some use of my landscape design degree :-)

I once bought a nice pot of paperwhites. I think they're gorgeous.
They also go by the name jonquil. What a letdown to find out
they smell very much like dirt.

I walked into the house after work and was hit in the face with
this remarkably ... dirt odor. I looked all around thinking maybe it
was garbage? Even though my garbage doesn't smell like earth.

It was the paperwhites. I finally had to put them outside. They
were stinking up the joint.

Oh my goodness, I just did a google on paperwhite scent, and look
what I found:

"Our California friend and tazetta expert, Bill Welch, explains, "About a
quarter of the population cannot stand the scent of paperwhites, and that
has poisoned their attitude towards the tazettas as a whole. Someone I know
was doing a study of the chemical components of fragrance in various
flowers, and he found that paperwhites had a lot more indole in them than
other tazettas. Then he told me that indole is the same chemical given off
by E. coli! Of course I don't usually mention this to people who like
paperwhites and ask if the others 'smell as good'"!

How funny is that.

I like the odor of them for a few days but after that they begin
to smell kind of nasty to me, too. Hyacinths affect me the same
way. I don't really like the smell of jasmine, either, but I
love gardenias.

I love flowers but not so much for their scent. I planted hyacinths
near the walk because they smell pretty for a few days, but that's
about it. So when I forced some (they're always described as
fragrant) paperwhites, they were the last thing I searched for
when I came home and that smell hit me at the door. It wasn't
a flower smell at all.

I'd love to try them again if I knew it was really a fragrant variety.
Or maybe it's like the cilantro thing and they don't smell bad to
other people.

The funny thing is that I don't have a very good sense of smell.
This pretty pot of flowers was overpowering.
