One of the great accomplishments of my life was extracting a complete butternut meat from its shell. I can just picture you cracking walnuts with that hyper focus.

I never thought of hyperfocus as a superpower, but it actually is. That's what allows me to power through books, practice my leathercraft, or pound away at required CE's in my field. I always thought of it as the "eat the big toad first" approach to life.

Hank you are so much more than a food writer. Food is the vehicle, life is the road.
