Most almond extracts are made from the nut inside the pit of apricots. Cherry pits also have that same almond flavor.
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.
I have coffee, but I am not waking up.
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.
I'm still feeling as if I'm Coming Down With Something. Just kind of bleah and rundown and alternating tickly throat with feeling as if something is lodged in there.
Combined with DRAHMA on a writer's loop I'm on and I have zero patience. Next person on that loop to say something unbearably stupid may find themselves at the end of a virtual tongue-lashing from me. I'm feeling very Ilyria and "I want to hurt something."

That's pretty much how I've been feeling for about 2 weeks. Let me know if you find a way to conquer it.
If I wind up losing my shit on the writer's loop and I feel better afterwards, I'll let you know.
Peach and apricot pit and almonds all have some cyanide compounds in them, but you'd have to eat them by the bushel to come to any harm. Cyanide comes from a close relative, the bitter almond, which is grown as an ornamental. Cyanide is one of the things that comes to my mind when people are arguing that "natural is safe."
Teppy, I've been feeling that way too. I'm pretty sure it is allergies.
