I actually picked up a few very old-fashioned pinecones a three weeks ago while travelling. In the past few weeks a lot of seeds came out of them, some were a green colour. I have just started reading this months Family Circle. There are so many recipes that are variations of my current favourite recipes, it is just amazing. I wish Family Circle had a facebook page, was so excited.
