After having recently said that I rarely buy witch items anymore, I've bought another. In 30 years of collecting vintage witch pieces, I have only seen maybe 3 of these, two of which I now own. This is a chestnut roaster.

A floral punch pattern on the back. You place this over hot coals to roast the chestnuts.

I made this cowboy caviar this morning for a party my daughter is going to. If you haven't tried this recipe yet, give it a shot. It is scrumptious. You can find the recipe here:

I really like useful utensils that are also ornamental. Your nut roaster would look much better hanging on the wall than my spaetzle press.
Have a great day!

Here there be Cowboys!!
The salad looks fantastic. Yep..I will try this recipe too.
I've been aced on the A&P cake. Daughter in law (with the bakery) wants to make it and will bring it to dinner on Sunday.
It's raining and for a bit, I've never seen rain like that here in California. It roared down off the roof and began to flood the sheds. We grabbed old bath towels and stuffed them around the edges of the shed to try and keep the water out. I don't think it did one bit of good..but who cares. I think my naked rain dance worked!! :)
