Smoked Almonds

“These little babies may be my new favorite trail snack. MMMMM MMMMM GOOD!”

“Trail snack? Indeed. But they're good anytime!”

“Yes they are, however, with the fat content, I gotsta save 'em for special occasions.”

“those damn evil Girl Scouts are scouring the country side selling those damn delicious nuts again. I'm in the hole for $20! Bassturds!”

“Yeah, but it's the "good fat". Don't ask me what that means though.”

“It only settles around your ass, not your hips!”

“Little miniature Almond Joys are my fav trail fuel.”

“MMM HMM. Not many people like the almond Joys around here, saves more for me.”

“..and lots of bags of them are for sale for Halloween candy!
I stock up this time ever year. I'm out of them right now.”

“How long can you keep halloween candy before it goes bad, Stovie?”

“throw it in the frezer and it will last a long time. A frozen snickers is great to eat.
Just watch out for those caps!”

“I know they will keep at least 6 months in the fridge. I did it and they never made me sick. ;-)
Probably much longer in a freezer.
Sugar is it's own preservative. That's why jams and jellies keep so long. With candy bars, lord knows how much man make preservative is in them.”

“You guys are so freakin smart.

“Sam's Warehouse sells a jug of Almonds for a good price. I pick one up ever now and then. I also buy my Halloween candy there.
I have lots and lots of kids around my house and I enjoy giving out the candy. What's left over is MINE!!! ALL MINE!!! LOL”

“I get bulk almonds from the international market here in town for cheap.”

“currahee, you talking about farmers market??”

“That's the one.”

“Cashews are from de Debbil!”

“You've mentioned that before. Do we need a TT cashew intervention, Bit?
Hello, my name is Bitpusher, *sniffles*, and I'm addicted to cashews *bawls*.”

“I bought a new can yesterday, and they're almost gone.


No, you can't have any.”

“That's OK, I just murdered the can of smoked almonds I was planning on taking to TC4.”

“Is this some sort of bizarre enabling behavior?”

“Love the cashews!”

“I usually pick up a bag of Trail Mix from Costco-- They are really good! :-) Also they have great "mixed nuts" (all of the good stuff- no peanuts)...

I like to mix the Costco Trail Mix with their dried berry mix... :-) Yummy!”

“Mixed nuts is also what you get with the personages on this board.

“Costco sells gigantic bags of dry roasted and salted almonds in the shell. You'd think they'd be hard to open but they're easier than pistacios and taste awesome!

damnit, this is Sassafras”

“i think I bought dry roasted peanuts for the first time the other day. didnt' know they taste so different, so good. (not a big peanut fan).

I love almonds, those are my favorites. like 'em smoked and sweet, or else. I like em all.

i know they are not really nuts, but I love chestnuts. forgot to cut them once and had a huge explosion in my oven. lol”

“mmmm...roasted chestnuts are yummy!”

“cant beat roasted peanuts :) But almonds and cashews are good too :)”

“Chestnuts-- poke 'em with a fork or cut a slit in them with a knife so that they don't explode....

but i LOVE those cinnamon roasted almonds hot from the roasting pan (you can't help but buy them when you smell them!)”
