This affects you how? Oh, are you afraid the prices at Jane's
Dispensary will go up? They 'll probably use it as an excuse to jack up
the prices.

I'm 99.9% sure your dispensary has more than one supplier.

https://norml.org/news/2021/11/11/report-legal-cannabis-among-nations-most-valuable-crops/

"Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Oregon also legally
produce marijuana as a cash crop."

I notice when California wildfires are threatening something like the
citrus crops or any other fruit or vegetable ("cash") crops, nary a word
from you. People having to leave their homes because the fires are
getting close, not a peep. Marijuana? All of a sudden it's a big deal.

If you actually cared or knew anything about this you'd have been
posting waaaay back about the continuing drought conditions in
California. Why do you think those wildfires occur every year? They've
been giving farmers fits for a long time. Just because they're pot
farmers, suddenly they get your attention. You're very shallow.

Some of the growers here used to grow weed in the cane fields to conceal the crop. The problem with that is the the fields were periodically burned. When this song talks about saving the children, it means to save the pakalolo plants.

In a vainglorious attempt to wrest the subject back to food-related, that
reminds me in a tangentially-related Dave Smith sort of way of the latest
craze in my house, namely 'Favuzzi' Pistachio Cream, which is a
delightful spread made from pistachios, cream, sugar & cocoa butter. (The
pipsqueak list-parrot can provide more details.)

I even convinced my wife to try it on her toast today because we had ran
out of our normally omnipresent maple butter. She likes it, which says a
lot because usually she finds my tastes too eclectic.

Way better than Nutella. It says 65% pistachio on the bottle, and the
chocolate flavour is from cocoa butter; not cocoa powder.

You can find Favuzzi at IGA. Since it is 'Independant Grocer
Association', I'm not too sure if they maintain a consistent product base
across marketing districts, so you might need to visit Quebec.

I will keep an eye out for it. Funny thing about pistachios. I remember
the bags of red pistachios in stores when I was a kid and later on in
dispensing machines in bars, and I they never appealed to me at all.
Then I tried on and found out how good they were. Later on I discovered
the non-dyed version.... better yet.

There are no IGA stores locally. They used to be quite common but most
of them became Sobeys and I understand that IGA now operates as Foodland.

Have you ever tried Nutello, Dave? Seems to be a nutspread with
chocolate to spread on breakfast toast. Sounds repulsive to me.

I wouldn't mind trying it once but don't want to potentially waste my
money on buying a jar myself.

It is hazelnut and chocolate. It is OK on a cracker or two but not

Really?? I just asked Mike Duffy is that pistachio butter is as good as
Nutello.

It's delicious. It is mainly sugar, palm oil, ground hazelnuts and
cocoa. You can have it in bread, on rolls, on toast, on crepes, inside
chocolates.
There have been a couple controversies over it. There was a class
action lawsuit over them saying it was part of a nutritious breakfast
because it would require something really nutritious to go along with it
and to counter all that fat and sugar. Then there is the palm oil thing
that a lot of people object to because of sustainability.

You can usually get small jars of it in Italian stores. If there is a
place nearby that sells crepes you can try it there. That stuff is amazing.

I've had Nutella in a dessert fondue. It's basically soft candy. I wouldn't
consider it suitable for breakfast. Kuthe eats candy for breakfast, and
he's as crazy as a shithouse rat.

You can make your own.

This incredibly delicious chocolate hazelnut spread (DIY Nutella) is
made simply with hazelnuts, dates, cocoa powder, and salt. Warning:
Highly addictive! [Reprinted from Tasting Paris by Clotilde Dusoulier –
Clarkson Potter, 2018.]
Ingredients
• 2 cups roasted and skinned hazelnuts
• 4 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
1. In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the hazelnuts
until they release their oil and turn into hazelnut butter. At first, it
will seem like nothing’s happening, but suddenly the nuts will turn into
a smooth shiny paste. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food
processor as needed. Depending on how powerful your appliance is, this
will take 1 to 4 minutes. If you have an entry-level model machine, stop
more frequently to let the motor cool.
2. Add the dates, cocoa powder, and salt. Puree until completely smooth.
Taste and add another date or more cocoa powder if more sweetness or
pronounced chocolate flavor is desired. (This “Notella” is significantly
less sweet than the store-bought version).
3. Scrape into a jar and store in a cool dark place for up to several
months.

Neither of us likes Nutello or peanutbutter.
My wife buys almond butter for her.
I like in the shell peanuts.
I like in the shell hazelnuts.
I like most in the shell nuts but not Brazil nuts,
I find those too tricky to remove the shell.
If I want Brazil nuts with chocolate I'll buy Chunky bars, but
they're too addictive.
I don't like mystery nut butters

Sounds good. I used merjool dates for Jamie Oliver's chocolate porridge.
Those things are all about sweetness, but a healthier form of sugar.

I bought a jar of it once and thought it was awful as much as I love
hazelnuts. But there was no hazelnut taste and the chocolate was
not a good chocolate at all.
