[Sca-cooks] Southern California Chestnut resource?

[Elaine Koogler]

I also know that Williams Sonoma (which started on the West Coast) has
chestnuts...I think they're candied in some sort of syrup, but they do have
them.  there is another place online and I can't remember the proper name for
it...Goldmine, Gold-something...and I seem to remember their having dried
chestnuts.  I'll try to find the catalogue upstairs and send you better infor.
