And what are you doing on a Friday night? Oh that's right, posting on ATOT...

Well, last I checked it was Saturday...I had sex three times this morning and then woke up to my main desktop in a black screen after windows updates. I am on PTO all next week and wanted to do some projects on my PC.

We went out for dinner, shopping, Total Wine and now I am having a few beers with my fiancee having her new Moscato D'Asti while she's watching one of her girly shows that will surely put her into the mood later tonight.

Normally we'd be out later tonight at one of the places on the ocean or intercoastal tonight watching a band and drinking...but again my PC is dead and also it's freaking raining in S. Florida (we were scheduled to go to SunFest tonight actually).

I am going to try and make church by 10:30am though. If I miss a week my sins sort of build up too much.

lived a few years in my youth next to a Monestary outside of Naples that had large walnut groves. The monks caught me sneaking in and taking garbage bags full of nuts. They were crazy nice and made me dinner that night and we became friends. fresh walnuts tasted soo good!


fresh nuts !

also love cashews buttery texture and smooth flavor. Love Brazil nuts as well and sprinkle chopped nuts in my salad ALL THE TIME

The melange of chopped nuts, Maytag Blue Cheese chunks and a mixture of Fini Balsamic Vinegrette and Blue cheese dressing is to die for!

Pecan pie is the greatest thing that ever happened to this planet.

Orgasm for the tastebuds

I used to love pecan pie, until I made my own and found out it's almost all sugar and corn syrup. Then I stopped eating it because I didn't want to get diabetes.

Thought I'd edit out the BS parts of the post.

Salted almonds are hard to beat. I like most other nuts as well. Not a huge fan of cashews or Brazil nuts, but I can eat them.

Pistachios, almonds, and peanuts for me. Never got into cashews for some reason.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts and pecan on their own.

Cashews, peanuts, pistachios and macadamian needs to be salted for über goodness.

Hazelnuts are really good fresh. Dried they're a bit meh.

Almonds an Brazilian are great on their own.
