Awakenings: Bread of the Day...Date & Nut

Awakenings: Bread of the Day...Date & Nut | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"Bread is a dietary staple with thousands upon thousands of variations being the most widely consumed food in the world. Different types of flour, oils, sweeteners, spices, fruits and nuts produce flavorful sweet, sometimes savory loaves of mouth-watering goodness. The aroma of fresh-baked bread is the only invitation you need to take a 'bite' right out of the oven!

Awakenings: Pray-leen, Praw-line or Prah-lean

Awakenings: Pray-leen, Praw-line or Prah-lean | Human Interest | Scoop.it
The word for today is "praline". No other spelling other than p-r-a-l-i-n-e. How you pronounce it is an entirely different and somewhat debatable subject matter. Pray-leen, praw-line or prah-lean? In the good ol' USA, the most acceptable pronunciation is "pray-leen". You know...just like something you do in church. Along the East Coast of Georgia, it's pronounced "praw-line" if you please. In Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast, the tendency leans more toward the southern “prah-leen” because of the French cultural influence in the area. The candy's namesake after all is du Plessis-Praslin, a 17th century French nobleman. No matter how you pronounce it, praline candy makes for a mighty fine treat.

"The Macadamia Nut is one of Australia’s few contributions to the world’s food plants, and this rich, buttery nut is considered by many to be the most delicious of all nuts. The macadamia tree originated in Australia. It was introduced into the United States in Hawaii around 1881 and used ornamentally. The first commercial orchards of macadamias in Hawaii were not planted until 1921.

"What is your favorite nut...and I don't mean comedian? There have been many opportunities throughout the year to celebrate different kinds of nuts from the actual nut itself to various nutty recipes to those smothered, covered or dipped in chocolate. The nut for this next celebration had you Feelin' Nutty back in November making the statement "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" followed by the question "...but when do you NOT feel like a cashew?"


Just saying the word makes you want to pull a handful out of a can or bag and chomp, chomp, chomp away! Then, to completely cover them in chocolate is absolutely sinful! But, let's do it!


April 21 is... Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day"
