Finished s1 of Leverage. And two things have come of it.
1) am in love lust with Parker (not as much as I am for 'Fred from Angel).
2) I really want those in-ear comm system for my running crew. Dude! Those are the BOMB! Except, of course, no way to Mute the mic. And those of us who have spent time on headset know, that really sucks when allergies hit, chewing ice, well chewing anything, and of course, "natural" breaks. Nobody needs to hear that. Does not deter from wanting. Of course will never afford, so will chalk in same likelihood as item #1.
Must go to sleep now. Can't sleep in until 2pm Tuesday, like I've done all weekend. AND! In the afternoon, I get a phone call with a legend of Sound Design! Woot!
I've never had cashew or almond fruit, I'm jealous. I want to try them.
Same here. Mmmmm drupes! I'm fairly certain I've never heard that word before.
1) am in love lust with Parker
I'm in love with the whole crew.
Miami! Woot! I went to bed before the end, but could hear the cheers from the boys.
Where did I get the idea that the liquid that surrounds a cashew nut - or cashew "nut" - is poisonous?
I had thought that something in the fruit or outer skin was caustic - I've heard it mostly in the context of it being dangerous/painful for the people doing the harvesting. Huh.
Most almond extracts are made from the nut inside the pit of apricots. Cherry pits also have that same almond flavor.
Aha! That would explain why my "allergic to nuts" neighbor brought over that nummy cashew/miso green bean thing that one time. (I guess it's easier to tell people who are cooking for you "allergic to nuts" than "allergic to nuts except for these things which are nutlike but botanically distinct.")
I have coffee, but I am not waking up.
I love learning new and interesting things from buffistas. Drupes!
ImemeN, I am so very sunburned.

Which is why you leave the pits IN when you make clafouti!
I need to investigate this cyanide peach pit thing... its in bitter almonds too so that makes sense. Is it all peaches? (It's not in
sweet
almonds). What about plums? Apricots? I deffinately want to crack open a cherry pit and roast whatever teensy little almond thing is in there.
And clearly the range of acorns needs investigating as well.

This is not a good thing. I'm actually pretty perky now, but I've been up for 4 hours already. 2 hours ago? NSM.
I am very much enjoying my morning tea after the nasty hotel tea yesterday. Still not quite awake though.
