Congratulations on that win, Tara. I love boiled peanuts, but I never
tasted Cajun peanuts, before.

I like peanuts in any fashion. Growing up, we would roast shelled
peanuts in the oven, we would have roasted peanuts just as often as we
had popcorn. It is one of the first foods we learned to cook, having to
be careful not to burn yourself on the oven. You have to turn them every
8-10 minutes until they are done, then you have to wait for them to cool
down before you can eat them, that was the hardest part. The house
smelled so good while they were roasting, and I would crack the shell
and try to eat a peanut without burning my mouth - you know how kids
are, they are so impatient. Now, I do not see raw peanuts in the
supermarket, although they are probably there somewhere.

Here they are usually in the produce department.

The local mini-mart here keeps them in a crockpot, self-serve. I haven't
tried them, but they smell great.
