World's Best Spiced Nuts
March 21, 2009
When we lived in Haiti, my husband fell in love with a particular brand of spiced nuts from Lebanon. After we left, we couldn't remember the brand but we have been trying every kind of Lebanese nuts searching for that long lost gem. A couple weeks ago when we went shopping together I saw him carrying a big pile of nuts in his arms and smiling... At last, it seemed that we had found the elusive nuts we lost years ago. |

My favorite fruit has always been berries (especially raspberries) but recently the mango took over the number one spot. Not that I don't like berries anymore, I just have not been able to eat fresh ones for a long time. But instead of lamenting the lack of berries, I have spoiled myself with fresh mangos, first from our own garden in Haiti a few years ago, and now from numerous trees scattered around the compound where we live in Liberia. My friend, David, is the gardener here and he kindly keeps his eye out for the good ones and let's me know as soon as they are ready. We are now in the peak season for mangos and it is my favorite time of the year for mango recipes... and just plain mango snacking. |
