As a kid, we used to have black walnut fights from a huge tree on the corner of our small town. As an adult, I would rather use them in a recipe instead of up the side of the head. Your bread looks delicious and will be made in the upcoming week. Thank you Vicki!
I absolutely adore the squirrel portrait! I’m not surprised it got snapped up so quickly. I’d love to own an original Vicki Smith painting. Is there a website I should visit? You’re a wonderful artist as well as a great storyteller—and clearly a baker too! The bread is definitely on my list to try, and now I’m on the hunt for black walnuts—the kind that are already shelled!
Thanks so very much Ruth! We really enjoy that bread. I have a website, but no mechanism to make purchases. There are some original pieces at www.vickismithart.etsy.com and I'm thinking of posting more items, eventually. I appreciate your interest! Thanks, too, for sharing on Notes.
I just checked out the Etsy site. The masks are amazing! I think I'd hang them on the wall. Too beautiful to wear. I hope you post more items. I'll keep checking. Might like one of the paintings.
I love the squirrel drawing. I admire your patience for giving the walnuts another try. It sounds very labor intensive. I hope you will update us on how it goes and whether it was worth it.
Squirrel stew, that’s funny! Though where I live they say “you ain’t got a good woman if she can’t cook squirrel.” We used to have a squirrel that would open black walnuts on the deck, he also stole my tomatoes. We named him Jimmy. Haven’t seen him in a while come to think of it.

Squirrel 🐿️ drawing is great, love the colors! And also enjoyed learning about getting the hulls off!
Thank you, Jolene!
This looks and sounds good - and love the squirrel...
Thank you, Joanne.
Not surprised that your squirrel portrait is taken. You captured the essence of squirrel. Truly delightful.
Thanks, Janice.
‘Not sure my previous comment came through to you, but I Love your posts and hope you have good luck with your black walnut experiment!💓
Thanks, Peggy. I sometimes have trouble leaving a comment on Substack.

Thanks, Amy. I will follow up. I guess I am a glutton for tedious tasks!

I would be very upset about stolen tomatoes!
Most excellent!
I can’t wait to try the recipe. Our Livingston Manor kin used to gather the black walnuts. I think there was a hammer involved
