The sprouts, for Christmas Dinner, should have been cooking for a month or two now but it's still not too late to get them nice and mushy if one leaves them in a pressure cooker for the next three months.
Here's a little something to get you in the mood ;-)
//Hallowe'en is closely linked to Autumn and the harvest celebrations and Hallowe'en treats are therefore autumnal with recurring themes of apples, and nuts, and of course there’s the turnip lanterns. Around the house there will likely be nutcrackers with a big bowl of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts) and a big bag of monkey nuts which are raw peanuts still in their shells. //
