Nuts, all joking aside, are a big part of my new eating regime. I can't believe that it took me this long to eat what's good for me.

That pile looks fab.

I keep them in my purse, in my car. Great for when you need to eat something fast, curbs hunger. So good for you.

Filberts, hazelnuts and cobnuts all belong to the family Corylus... Generally speaking the name "filbert" is applied to the oblong nuts of two varieties of hazel native to Europe, Corylus avellana pontica and C. maxima; "cobnut" to
another native European variety C. avellana grandis which produces a large round nut; and "hazelnut" to the American varieties C. americana and C. cornuta, which bear small roundish nuts.

The name filbert was used because the nut is found in Turkey, Greece, and Italy - all Mediterranean countries and all tied to Christianity. The Filbert bush blooms in February on St. Filbert's day and the name "Filbert" was a local term for the plant. The name was extended to the nut. Over 90% of the world crop of filberts/hazelnuts is grown in these countries and exported throughout the world.

Hey Doggy....here's something totally unrelated and perhaps a challenge for you....so you know I started a new job.....do you have any suggestions of things to take to work to eat..(Besides a SANDWICH or a SALAD)????

You're so creative....I'm bored already....and right now don't have time to go out to lunch because of orientation. I think I'm not thinking outside the traditional food box....(again..lol)

by the way those donuts from a couple of days ago looked marvelous.....

Gk
