Day Three Hundred and Thirty-Seven - Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut

It seems like everyone @ work for the past week and a bit has been eating lots and lots of almonds. Not the fun almonds like the over-priced chocolate covered ones you buy to support local youth hockey or whatever [it's seriously the best thing about hockey]...but just regular raw almonds. There is some new nutritionist/diet thing going on that I'm not a part of due to me not needing more people/things telling me what to eat or how to eat it. Regardless, I've been trying to develop a taste for almonds, nuts, legumes...etc. as I think it would be a good thing to snack on [okay, I know they are super fattening, but they are certainly better than Cheetos - which I have already developed quite a taste for, thanks muchly]. Today I found an entry on Wikihow that seemed especially appropriate and tonight I made honey-roasted peanuts. Here's a photo of some of them [the ones that have not been eaten].


As you can see - a good tip would be to follow instructions. The instructions said to continue stirring after they were roasted for TEN WHOLE MINUTES or else they would all stick together. See - I don't find standing in my kitchen to be all that thrilling so I didn't do that...now I think my baking sheet is properly frakked. I'm going to try reheating and melting them off. Anyway, they are super simple to make - just buy some non-raw peanuts, create a melty mix of butter [real butter please] and honey and combine with peanuts, roast peanuts for 10 minutes. Ta-dah! Honey-roasted peanuts! Success! They are super delicious and nice when warm, though a bit painful on ye olde fingers.
