Apparently boiled peanuts are a regional thing and an acquired taste, neither of which I realized until I moved to Texas. One of my children turns up his nose at them, like his father, but the other one LOVES to eat them with me. I have some from my dad in the freezer. I might just have to get them out now!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290825016219393592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-42883916273530552162009-02-25T12:39:00.000-09:002009-02-25T12:39:00.000-09:00I LOVE peanuts.
