    Have you ever tried it? I consider it from time to time, but it looks like a lot of work

      My next dumpster neighbor is a squirrel and she gave me a bucket of acorns for Christmas. I'll give it a try and report back.

      If you have a strong stomach you can just pop them open and eat them raw, though I wouldn't recommend eating more than a dozen or so. I like the taste of tannins and they're also good for getting your system flowing.

      I'm in the middle of watching this series that @JillOfAllTrades@hexbear.net posted, it's pretty good.

      You need a good way of collecting acorns at the right time (especially if it's white oak), you need to keep them in cool dry storage (esp. white oak), and you need a good way to mash them and hold them in a container while you rinse them (esp. red oak).
