squirrel's food

Evening time after send wati off home, we decided to do some chest nut hunting at Ravenscourt Park, I was told by carol that there are few chest nut trees in the park, so we reached there before dark, park were filled with kids and family, not too difficult to find where the trees are, lots of squirels and all those spiky fruits under the trees:>
I guess we miss the peak season, cos there was really nothing much, only one tree that was still fruit hangging on..is very funny, the feeling is like waiting for durian to drop from the tree, cos, the fruit normally will burst on the tree,, and the nuts just fell on the ground..and u can hear it sometimes..fun..and some times we have to look in to those dry leaves, where u can find even more of it..and the amazing thing is, those crap that i heard from tv, that squirrels know how to hide their nuts, is true!!!!my sis actually digged some of those really big and round one from the ground!!haha..i was remembering the news about squirrel turn violent and attack human, why??becouse human steal their food!!!!huahuaaaa..


thats how it looks like..chest nut fruit..( i dun know how they call it:>)

What we stole from the squirrels:>

One fruit only got one big nut, the rest are just thin and nuts looking thing..:>


So, how do we cook it?
well, we washed, boiled in the water for ten - fifteen minutes, is just like egg, those rotten on will float, and the good solid one will sink in to the bottom..
oh ya!! we got to cut a slit at the side of the nut too..


After that, we drained the water, and put it in the hot oven for another ten minutes.


All done!! Very tasty, especially those big one, really sweet and powderly!!ofcos we cant finish all, so we will keep some , maybe can use it to cook chicken tomorrow:>
I hope it is not poisonous..if u guys din see me update any blog anymore? check on me please, maybe is those nuts..hahaaa
well, hope wati will have a pleasant flight back home.. miss u already babe..
