11 y.o. Girl Pitches Perfect Game Against All Boy Team In Little League
That is cool. I just told Ben. His response? Yeah, well she wouldn't have if she'd been pitching against me. *sigh*
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Raquel, I'd try cashews becuase they have that same full blown oil and meaty flavor in a nut.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Go cashews, choose cashews!

I'd advise the same as Kat, though I'd want to add something with a little bite too. Of course, I'm thinking juniper berries, which probably just...no. I think it is the whole thing you get from trees and ridiculously difficult to eat factor at work.
And it seems really funny that finding pine nuts is hard there.
You know, growing up I never ate pinons because they were so much work and the shells make my teeth cringe and whimper. And when I discovered( in the last 7 years) that those pine nuts that are extremely expensive that I'd like to eat by the handful are in fact pinons? slaps forehead.
I just got a reprieve from something I was dreading. But it just puts it off till later. I kinda hate that. I'd worked through all the dread and had settled on resignation. And now I gotta do it again later?!

This is me exactly.
OK, I just walked up to the market and got slivered almonds, which were the same price as regular almonds, and I got cashew pieces. Not as pretty as whole cashews, but still, cashews!
It's weird, the things that are cheap/expensive here. Cheese is really expensive, even local cheese (except feta). Capers and nuts of all kinds are really cheap. Skinless boneless chicken breast is the same price as chicken thighs. Honey is worth its weight in gold.
Anyway, the sauce smells really good, and I think the cashews will go well, although I'm going to use less than the amount of pine nuts called for.

Is pinon a Spanish word? I've only ever called them pignoli, although I knew pignoli = pine nuts.

Yep, pinon is spanish. The middle n is actually an enye, but I never remember html entities.

I think pinon and pignoli are cognates. Like Renaissance and Renacimiento.
Which could segue into a whole thing about ESPN Deportes, and how mixed-American Spanish adopts the funniest English words in the service of fast recaps, but I'll desist.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
