Last week I purchased a one pound bag of hazelnuts from Smiths for $10. That was a skosh steep if you ask me but such is the cost when you want to produce your own version of Nutella. I found what appeared to be a good recipe online and today I decided it needed to happen. The hazel nuts are amazing little things. I started out with them in the oven for about 15 minutes. They get good and dark and then you have to try and rub off the skins. Not so easy on some but also very easy on others. The recipe said to get rid of as many of the skins as possible as they provide a bitter taste. Well, not sure if I did this so well as there is a bit of an aftertaste. Otherwise the recipe was easy and it went very well. I was so into it that I made a batch of walnut-tella - just because.
The science fair was today. I ran over to take a look and the place was packed . Wow. Andy and I managed to find Natty and she seemed to be enjoying herself.
I am off to Salt Lake in a few hours for the Folks 40th Anniversary celebration. This is an adult event. Grateful for Sara's sisters coming up to Cedar to watch the kids for this. We will see how it goes and hope for the best. Leaving the kids is not an easy thing for me and I have felt some sadness already. They will be fine and the weekend should be good. Fun things on the schedule. Must sleep now.
