*Breaks open a durian with a machete”
I offer this as a sacrifice to the glorious elder goddess Lady Lychee, the eternal Poll Empress of NUF!!!
Anyway, with that done.
Let's get started.

Anyway, with that done.
Let's get started.
So about a week ago I was having a... “dinner date” with my best friend, she and I grew up together so we are pretty close... like joined at the hip close. We get into lots of hijinx together, and people often confuse us for a couple. We score lots of discounts that way, but that's another story...
Anyhoo… Halfway thru the main course, She asked me if I ever heard of “No Nut November”
I have for sure. I am not totally out of touch, I vaguely understand what is entailed from second-hand knowledge that osmosis thru society.
So I told her, “I think it is an interesting exercise to abstain from something for a month and ultimately release all that built-up frustration in the end.”
She seemed genuinely interested. Especially, if I was doing it. I could not understand her fascination.
But I mused over the idea for a moment, one of my cousins is deadly allergic to nuts, so I had long grown up in a household without legumes at all.
Though I am indeed partial to a few of those crunchy snacks every now and then, it is not something I desperately needed.
“No, I have never done it…” I confessed and I was about to arrogantly belittle the exercise, I thought about it some more, Without some kind of a minder or a buddy, I might end up consuming nuts without realizing. So I continued.
“I wonder...I mean, letting all that frustration build-up for 30 days... it might be a bit hard… If only I can have someone to help… ... to set… milestones?… No... to have a goalpost... maybe…to help mark the end…like a partner to do it with”
As I was simply utter whatever was coming to mind, she perked up and told me, a little too intensely, that she would love to do it with me.
I explained that it was hardly November any more, but, she didn’t seem mind, We can have our “nutting” in mid-December was her thought on the matter, and we'd make a real evening out of it. Both she and I will abstain from any nut for 30 days, then I will go over to her house and we'll release all our lust for nuts from our nutless diet together.
I simply told her, “It will be a “date”."
She is very excited and so am I. My best friend is an amazing cook, I can't imagine what cuisine involving nuts she will come up with.
Though... I am a bit worried about her... she started sending me pictures asking what kind of clothes she should wear to make the night more exciting.
That girl needs to sort her life out, It is not like we will be eating with our underwear exposed, and even if we did what she's wearing underneath hardly got anything to do with nuts?
But it did get me thinking, about suggestions and on to the main point of this post…
I delight in a bit of Macadamia nut, but what bout you?
Do you have a favourite nut? Vote on the poll, and also is there any food that is cooked using nuts that you really like?
