Experiment with acorns from the great oak trees on your lawn. Warm and aromatic for Thanksgiving! Shell and chop into fine pieces. Let stand in water, changing water to wash out the bitterness whenever the water turns dark brown (about 15 times over 4 days). Roast in the oven until the acorn aroma fills in the house. Use a standard corn bread recipe.
