What to do when you’re dying of homesickness? Make Joan’s crack nuts, obviously.
Mine are not one tenth as amazing as hers, but all that means is they’re only a little bit really really good. Sweet, salty, spicy. (I hold the recipe, I feel I’m part of a very elite club.)

You need to make more…practice, practice, practice. And yes, you’re in an elite group; I suggest you start negotiations with your dad now, for whatever, because he’s a sucker for a crack nut!
