    NB>> I've done a fair bit of baking   
      
    MK> I do all the cooking and have for many, many, many decades now but   
    MK> every attempt at baking on my part has been a dismal failure.    
      
   I've not done all that well at cakes or pies... but cookies and bread   
   seemed to go well enough for me... :)   
      
    NB>> Sounds like it was an interesting diversion   
      
    MK> Yes it was (is?).  There is a farm on the Trans Canada highway between   
    MK> Ladysmith and Duncan that has hazelnut trees.  They are around 15-20   
    MK> feet tall and I've never noticed if they are producing any nuts but   
    MK> given their size I assume they are.  The wild ones I seen in my youth,   
    MK> usually when I went mushroom picking, were small bushes no more than   
    MK> 10 feet at best.  Those were all on the flatlands and could be found   
    MK> in depressions where there was more moisture and less plowing   
    MK> happening farm-wise.  They were never in season whenever I encountered   
    MK> them so I never tried them.  I am regretting that now.    
      
   Can't do everything... Have you had the commercially grown hazelnuts...?   
      
    NB>> Amazon seems to be a bit like Alice's Restaurant   
      
    MK> There is something I haven't thought of in around 50 years.  I wonder   
    MK> how she is doing these days.    
      
   Probably passed on, like Woody and Arlo.... But lives on in memory and   
   song...  ;)

   ... Never interrupt when you are being flattered!
