This time of year in North Florida is for peanut harvesting and every time you stop at a stop sign or turn onto another road,peanuts are spilled onto the highways. The main drying plant is only two miles from my house and trucks and trailors are passing 24-7. Sure looks like the market will be flooded this year. It is usually corn but not this year.
Roadside peanut boiling is everywhere you can set one up. A table,pot,gas cooker,water,salt and brown bags, you have a boiled peanut stand. They go for about a $1.50 a pint bag.

I could sure go for a bag of those right now!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Makes me miss home so much! Texans will turn their nose up at any peanut that isnt roasted and served in a honky tonk bar!
