Are Nuts a Waste of Time?

[Lucifer Box]

Whether it's brazils or hazelnuts, what are your feelings on the matter?

I bake my own raisin and nut bread. All sorts of different nuts I put in, and they make quite a rattle as you kneed the mix.

How about a 3/16ths or a nice 5/8ths?

Nuts are good! Full of healthy stuff-ness apparently.

Hi LB! Just back from Anguilla so I would say that Coconuts are great:

Lobster creole,
Pina Coladas (getting caught in the rain),
Coconut ice cream in a coconut shell (but shell cunningly made out of dark chocolate!)
Toasted Coconut and Lime Prawns

Mmmmm!

Or even a Coarse Flange.

Flange!

Same here Threaded... can't beat home made bread. Have you tried muscovado, honey and raisin bread?

Evil little devils that go all bitty and make you cough - having a peanut shoot out you nose is no fun let me tell you

Hello, hyperD, you old gourmand, you. I hope you had a super holiday and are ready and raring to get back into work mode.

I can't quite match that array there, but I made my own baked beans last week. A definite success: I will never buy a can of the over-sweetened, over-salted, modified-starch-laden buggers again.

Do all sorts, many unrepeatable, even if I tried. The latest one had some fruit in rum stuff left from Xmas and the bread came out purple. Tastes really good.
