Thomas) Organization: Univ of Utah CS Dept Lines: 15 Speaking of pine nuts, does anyone have an easy way to get the "shells" off the little buggers. I like them, but they are typically sold here in an unpeeled form (I.e., they are brown, not off-white), and one must remove the "shells" before eating (or cooking). I have tried blanching them first (works great for almonds), and just peeling them as they come, but it always takes forever. Consequently, they just sit on the shelf and get old.
