I did check them out. Our local store [San Gabriel] didn't have any and they didn't offer to see
if other stores did. I also checked Whole Foods. So I drove to the Somis Nut House and bought
their dried chestnuts. Since I have them and know that I have to boil them/soak them over night,
I will do so Tuesday night, so they will be perfect for Thursday. Thank you for letting me know.
I will check TJ's again at some of the other stores [Monrovia and Pasadena] and have some in the
freezer for future use.
