US meets UK

I saw this video while perusing  The Ultimate Female - and then I went to see Crazy Stupid Love. Which didn’t pass the test. Then I tried to think of movies that WOULD pass the test, and really struggled.

(In case the video doesn’t work embedded view here)

Can you think of a movie that passes?

Hi guys,

I’ve been so naughty and lost track of the days, I had a guest post go up at What the Frock! Go check it out You can also visit my Pinterest for more of my pinning activity.

Have you tried the Salt and Vinegar Almonds from Blue Diamond?

They’re practically addictive. I was hoping for an almond recipe that would work to less than $4 per  a few ounces and contained a few more natural ingredients. I searched high and low for a recipe, but couldn’t really find one that seemed a success.  I started by soaking a large handful (I would guess 1 cup, perhaps an overflowing 1 cup measure) in malt vinegar for a day and a half. I put them in the bowl around 9pm, and took them out to bake around 4pm the following day. You’ll be surprised by how much the almonds soak up! Then I places them on a baking sheet, sprinkled them with salt and put them in to back at 375. I first did 10 minutes, but the almonds were still more chewy than crunchy. I put them back in for about 15-20 more minutes and they were great!

They don’t pack the intense vinegar flavor that the blue diamond kind does, but it’s in there. Ideally I’d make a vinegar paste that coats the almonds. I may try mixing in a bit of almond flour to make the paste next time. I don’t have any pictures, because they look like almonds and I’m pretty sure we all know what almonds look like.

Have you made any flavored nut recipes?
