    I bought a huge bag of them and have been experimenting with different ways of roasting them. So far I've found that a high temperature works best, 250 deg, for half an hour. But I still don't know the best way to roast them so they pop open are easy to extract.
    Get a tin can and make lots of holes in the sides. Cut a cross in the bottom of the chestnuts and chuck them in.

    Put the can in your fire.

    They'll be ready in 15 -25 mins.

    cant be doing with any of her crap but she's a technoidiot so it wont be hard to make sure she cant contact
    Jesus.... you were thorough!!

    I guess it must still (even though you were the dumper, as opposed to the dumpee) be hard for you.

    Hope it all works out ok!
