GUEST,Mark Cohen Do your nuts require surgery? (30) RE: Do your nuts require surgery? 28 Oct 00

Rick, I'm glad you said something because I was beginning to think I was the only one who had that reaction to the title; and I'm sure our GUEST was wondering why nobody else did.

Actually, after the obvious (and painful) initial reaction, my next thought was remembering a conversation with the woman in Oregon from whom we bought a filbert (hazelnut) orchard in 1991. In response to a question about why we couldn't drive through the orchard when it was time to pick the crop off the ground, she said, "Why, you'd crush your nuts!" Now I have macadamia nuts, and they are definitely a much tougher nut to crack.

Sorry, I'll sit down now and let the luthiers back in. Fascinating discussion.

Aloha,
Mark
