The Odyssey of the Chesnut by harvey

The Odyssey of the Chesnut

So all the chesnut trees near work have started dropping chesnuts this week. I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could channel my inner squirrel; bring some home, roast them up and eat them!?! I mean how hard could that be, you've got a Ph.D. Steve, you can figure it out!

(Top row) So I grabbed a few chesnuts on the way home, I sat down to examine my loot and I was presented with a very prehistoric looking shell, I thought, hmm, maybe thats just how the cave men ate them, perhaps you can do it too. Well, that shell didn't taste very well so I abandoned that idea.

(bottom row) So I started pulling at the shell and the pokey perhistoric skin started to come off, and what would you know? Inside I was presented with a nice little chestnut ready for my roasting and consumption!!
Good humor collage. Nicely executed.

Great series. My mother would roast them in the oven and make chestnut stuffing for Thanksgiving. We loved them piping hot from the oven.
