My uncle had several black walnut trees and we would collect them in gunny sacks and take them to my grandparents where there was a hand crank corn sheller which did great job removing the hulls. We'd take our share and spread them out on our driveway to dry for several days. Then split them in two with a hammer and them several evenings picking out the meats while watching TV. My Mom's chocolate chip cookies with black walnuts are one of my fondest food memories.

My dad used to just put them in the cement mixer with some gravel and water then walk away. Change the water and walk away again. Until they were clean.<br>He would crack the walnuts and pick them and mom would make fudge. That stuff was so good. Walnuts have a unique taste.

Grandfather processed them, with one final result a black walnut syrup pored over ice cream. His father started a creamery, I could see them making this.

I would much rather spend the day with regular folk than ever thinking about meeting a celebrity. ❤❤

Some people might think this guy went nuts with his whole process of cleaning and processing the walnuts; but I think it was interesting!

We would gather them, drive over them with a car a few times to knock the husk off, then bag them in burlap and take them to my grandmother. <br>The nuts would come back to us in the form of black walnut pound cake. It was magic!

"You don't want to spend too much time with wet nuts". Yes sir, you are absolutely correct!

In the 1980s I was working as a painter in some of the areas historic homes.<br> An old timer told me that the original trim finish was black walnut hulls that had overwintered in a barrel of shellac.<br> It was gorgeous.

Use to put them in the drive way and run over them with the car, done a pretty decent job! Plus a 10 year old loved to drive the car. Where do the 65 years go? Great memories!!!!

As a kid back in the early 1960s, I used to pick up walnuts from around our little town and take them over to the Southern States co-op and get 50 cents for about a full grocery bag, then go get 4 candy bars and a coke and have green hands for week.
