There's been a lot of talk lately about Walnut cookies and Walnut trees in general. I thought I might touch on some of the regional characteristics of the tree in our region. Ours produces a wide variety of fruits and mixes them all together in some sort of mixture of sap and finely ground bits of sweet, tender bark.
The pictures below show some of the fruit Mrs. TT just harvested a few minutes ago from our backyard tree.
You can't see the tree rings because they're hidden by all of the various other fruit that our Walnut trees produce. Here's some of the anatomy.
Actually these are her famous Walnut Cranberry cookies. She puts other stuff in there too. Normally she puts Pecans in there but this time she put Walnuts, which reminded me of the recent Walnut cookies thread. So I figured might as well contribute something - sure haven't been able to run the mill lately. :thumbdown:
Out of camera view is a glass of ice cold milk. I didn't ask her why she didn't think to bake some for herself. :w00t:
