I can too, but I wanted them still in the shell for the sheer fun of cracking them open. They're a more complicated nut, however.

A couple years ago I came across this person's travel blog from her trip to Guatemala, and she wrote about the juice from cashew "apple". Very intriguing:

Raw pecans are not easy to get out of their shell. :~(

Rum butter...
Simple, only three ingrediants, rum, butter, dark brown sugar.
Soften the butter, about 4oz, beat in the suar, about 3oz, until its smooth and creamy. Add the rum, to taste, fold in, then beat again. Cool in the fridge.


If you add too much rum it won't combine properly add a bit more butter and beat it in.


Obviouly you can use brandy or whisky instead of rum, the method is the same, just change the lable on the jar...

I live in central Texas and there are pecan trees all around my house. I used
to have a mini-dachshund, Rosie (may she rest in peace), who would go outside
(in the back yard), find a pecan, shell it, and eat it. It never ceased to
amaze me that she could do that. She loved pecans. Gosh I miss her.

Although I have no allergy to nuts, in general, whenever I eat
walnuts my gums get tingly. I don't like them. Sometimes I wonder
why anyone likes them. I find them bitter.

I find them bitter.

Maybe some of the shell is clinging to the nut? ~That's the problem I have when hand shelling.

Are you sure Rosie wasn't a nut cracker in disguise as a dog? ;)

Sounds like a good dog, so she liked nuts, could have been worse, she could have had a craving for bananas.

My Mom used to live in Texas, down in Rockwall, I'm related to the Spaffords, if they still live there that is.

I'd really like a frozen fruit bar right now.

I've been watching US food programs on Netflix and every time someone cooks sausage it just looks like minced meat to me. Does sausage have any thing else in it other than meat?

Sometimes.
Isterband (Swedish: "lard-strips") is a coarsely ground, lightly smoked sausage from Sweden. It is made of pork, barley groats and potato.
Isterband is often served together with creamed dill potatoes and pickled beetroot.

Herbs and spices.

There are many types of sausage around the UK, never mind Europe or the rest of the world. The general mix is so ground up meat, some cereal and some herbs and spices. The quality & types of ingredients, and the relative proportions varies quite dramatically from place to place and even from sausage maker to sausage maker


(At one extreme I recall a garlic sausage that tasted as if it were 90% garlic, 8% cereal and 2% meat....)

Some more ingredients in sausages used are also kidney, liver and blood.

Blood Sausages

I wasnt talking about sausages in skins or cases I meant the loose meat stuff the Americans call sausage.

I think I got ya. The stuff that looks like ground beef. Just pork and whatever in it.
