Last year, seeing as how we have what you'd call a nut addiction here,
Sam at
Oh Nuts! in Brooklyn, New York thought he'd get our expert opinion on some of his delectable goodies. Since Brooklyn is the current cultural center of the universe, and I of course aspire to be Brooklyn-cool, I heartily agreed. He didn't even seem to mind when I told him that Hurricane Luka prefers to stick them
in his diaper instead of eat them.
He kindly sent us some dry roasted (and kosher by the way) Almonds and Pistachios. For those of you not familiar with kosher, I explained to Quinn that it means these products are created to WAY higher standards than the rest of the stuff in the grocery store. These nuts are the cream of the crop. And they've been blessed. Hey, next to added vitamins, I'll take a blessing any day. And Sam sending us some free tasty treats, well that would be a mitzvah on his part, or a good deed. Thanks Sam! We sure enjoyed those nuts, for the whole two days they were around before they were gone.
Check out the Pistachio Acrostic Poem here that Quinn wrote in honor of his pistachios last Christmas. He even created some "found object" artwork (well, from the shells he found all over the kitchen) for the top of this post, and took a picture. Neat, huh?
After browsing thru their
Christmas and
Hanukkah gifts, one of the next things I'd like to order from
Oh Nuts! are
pecans and
cranberries. You see, in 5th grade, Quinn entered the Dallas ISD Cooking Contest, and placed in the top 10 with his
"Boingo Burritos", winning a cook's gift basket with a mixer, oven mitts, spoons, etc. We were mighty proud of our little Emeril. Check out his easy recipe and mighty fine use of recycled Thanksgiving Turkey
here.
