Keep an eye on those. they can also mold, so it is best to let them dry out some before bunching them up in a bowl. I'd hate for you to have a disgusting surprise.

During the fall, we were almost afraid to go outside. . . the squirrels would climb the tall trees and THROW those hickory nuts down. Bam! Bam! BAM!! You were lucky if you made it through a fall without getting hit in the head with a hickory nut.<br /><br />Sounds like you've got the same thing going with acorns, but you've found a way to make the best of the situation. Brilliant! <br /><br />By the way, I like your politics.
