But it'd be like marrying my sister.

There you go again, turning down an excellent match because of your silly feelings. How will you ever get married if you insist on being happy?

(My sister broke up with her boyfriend of five years today. We just had a three-hour conversation about how we'll never find Twu Luv because our standards are so high - we want men who will act like they actually care about us. We're such demanding bitches.)

Where did I get the idea that the liquid that surrounds a cashew nut - or cashew "nut" - is poisonous?

Where did I get the idea that the liquid that surrounds a cashew nut - or cashew "nut" - is poisonous?

It's a common enough belief that I once had an argument with someone who insisted I could not have had cashew juice.

I am glad to be unburdened of my false belief! However, I still don't think I'll be drinking any cashew juice. It just sounds gross.

Drupe juice. eww

Drupe juice. eww

Peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, and nectarines are drupes.

Drupe juice, yum!

so, stone fruits?

so, stone fruits?

Yep.

So, is there flesh that grows around an almond seed like a peach?

Wikipedia sez:

The fruit is a drupe 3.5–6 cm long, with a downy outer coat. The outer covering or exocarp, fleshy in other members of Prunus such as the plum and cherry, is instead a leathery grey-green coating called the hull, which contains inside a hard shell, and the edible seed, commonly called a nut in culinary terms. Generally, one seed is present, but occasionally there are two. In botanical terms, an almond is not a true nut. The reticulated hard woody shell (like the outside of a peach pit) surrounding the edible seed is called the endocarp.
