Hot nuts
Whatever happened to hot nuts? As a kid, I remember the peanut man outside Fenway Park, yelling, 'Get you peanuts, here, fresh hot roasted peanuts, here'. Back in 1936 Lil Johnson liked hot nuts so much she recorded a song about them. And, even though you can still purchase a hot nut vending machine, you don't see them around like you used to. It seems like this part of the world has lost its taste for hot nuts.
I probably would have continued my existence not noticing the disappearance of hot nuts had it not been for my fortuitous mistake this morning of forgetting my pistachios in my truck. It's been a beautiful sunny, early summer, day here in Westford MA and my truck interior was quite toasty. Needless to say the nuts were hot and they were very tasty that way.
