  1. Using a piece of onion as a scoop is genius.

  3. Those figs you are eating are not ideally ripe. They're really good when they get much more dark. But they have to be harvested at that state because the birds will eat them if you leave them on the tree any longer.

  4. Speaking of fresh nuts, when I was a kid in Hawaii, I bought a bag of fresh macadamia nuts in the shell, and would sit on our asphalt driveway (rough, so it would hold the nut in place) and pop 'em with a hammer. Not hard to crack at all, once you get the technique down.

  5. Fresh almonds, I will have to try those! We grow a lot of almonds here in California, and the growers all call them "Ah-monds" and they joke it's because they shake the "L" out of them when they harvest them. Where I was living, we had a pistachio tree and a fresh pistachio nut right off the tree is completely different than a dried, roasted, salted one from the store.

  6. Next time you're in the US, go to a Mexican/Hispanic market and look for Jarritos brand tamarind (tamarindo) flavored soda. I used to eat tamarind candy when I was a kid, and the tamarind seeds were the dreaded and treasured "burn bean".
