It took literally all day, unshelling the walnuts that I picked, refining my mastery of cracking to maintain chunks of nuts easy to loosen from the shell...
Then a few minutes of whirring and stirring, a drop of freshly ground salt and a dash of lovely organic sesame oil - and boom: two jars of lovely spreadable, highest quality, natural and super-local walnut butter!
I'm dreaming of the toast in the mornings, the pwsto combinations and pasta sauces.... It feels like a potent accomplishment, and profoundly impresses on me how utterly precious our freedom is - to make our own food at a natural pace, to enjoy the intense satisfaction of high nutriment from nearby trees/ plants.
Life Is Beautiful!
Blessings on your day,
