I want to serve them at our monthly genealogy meeting, we have food about four meetings a year. OK now, I must try boiled peanuts next time I come down. I did try them, but from the wrong place I guess. Tasted like old oil. Are they just for peanut harvesting time or eaten all year? Any other local MS treats I should know about?

It sounds as if the boil peanuts were really old. If you should find some greens one in the fall of the year, put the in a boiler & some salt & boil until they are tender. They are good & fatten. I sure hated that I didn't get some green one last Sept. when I went to Monticello to put in my freezer. Bet my sugar would have really stayed up. Don't know what to tell you about the cucumber recipes. Peggy > In a message dated 2/7/2009 8:17:26 P.M.
