One to a greater extent than Federal Reserve annotation : if y'all haven't tried Marcona Almonds, y'all must.  They look similar a mix betwixt a cashew together with an almond - the ones I purchase are tossed inward body of body of water tabular array salt together with olive oil.  I nearly ate the entire container on the means abode from the store.  Ok, instantly onto the recipe...
