Walnut and Peanut

When, once, a peanut and a walnut met, as covered by the Iowa Gazette, the question good folks asked was whether these two nuts could go together. As a kitchen cook, I must insist - these two nuts can co-exist.

Cute one. I got a chuckle. I enjoyed reading it. In the kitchen, I don't think I would include them in the same dish but individually they are both delicious to me. I feel for those who have allergies and can't enjoy the flavor a few nuts can add to a mix. LOL..Sara K

I make banana oat squares and add walnuts in, and they taste great. I've been strangely craving peanut butter, so I was thinking of adding it, but it didn't seem quite right. I'm trying to convince myself. I haven't yet, but I might...hmm. I overstated my cooking abilities. I do cook almost all my meals, but I'm quite an amateur.
