We visited a friend for a few days, I marvel at how the roads must have been made, cut into the rock.

Another of my waterlily hybrids. I named this one Neon Angel.

NUTS boiled peanuts 🥜!

Raven, I have seen signs for boiled peanuts but have never had any. From the picture on your container, it looks like you would eat them shell and all?

No you can't eat the shell they are still hard even after boiling. Occasionally you will have a small young soft skin peanut and those are soft enough to eat whole.

I buy bulk raw green peanuts, fresh dug are best. At the Hong Kong market they have them often. I have started cooking them in my instant pot and it's much easier and far less time involved. It takes about 1 - 2 cups of salt in the water because of the hard shell it has to get through. Usually people either love them or hate them. I love them. 💕

That's good example of Canadian road-cut through rock. Its easy to see what they did. Notice the many drill marks on the rock face. You might find other locations with drill holes spaced farther apart. For that case, it was drill and blast, but the drill holes here are very close together. That makes me think they did not have to blast, but was able to calve off rock after drilling. However, that was lot of drilling and expensive.
