One of my favorite produce products of the season is Satsuma mandarin oranges. They had beautiful organic ones, with leaves and stems, at Monterey Market, where I do most of my produce shopping.
They also had Italian chesnuts, which is a favorite of our family on chilly nights. We roast them on top of our woodstove in a chestnut pan, which is a shallow metal pan with holes in the bottom.
I learned something new about chestnuts recently. Did you know they do not grow on trees in the form you buy in the store? I didn't. Rather, they look like this:
The nut we roast is contained in a big, stickery ball. The nut in this picture seems close to making its escape, right into our pan.
I feel better now.
