Alton Brown's Cashew Butter

2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup walnut oil
10 ounces (approximately 2 cups) roasted cashews
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place the honey in a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Remove from the microwave and add the oil to the container.
Place the nuts and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for 5 seconds.
Then, while the processor is running, very slowly drizzle in the honey and oil.
Process until an emulsion is formed and the mixture is smooth; this will take approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute.
If the mixture is too thick and doesn't spread easily, add a little more oil.

A New Look!

I chose this particular template because it reminded me of being a little girl :) I loved Pixie Stix!
They were just one of my favorite buys at Gus Mandros' store on Lemon Street.
I still love that store.
This was back in the day....I could actually walk to the store in the early evening or anytime of the day, actually, and not fear strangers.
Gus, Athena and the family were like extended family.
I have memories of my best friend's Italian grandmother's house on a Saturday morning. I believe it was bread baking day on Saturdays. I can still remember the wonderful aroma of hand-kneaded and home-made Italian bread filling the kitchen of her Lemon Street home.
Good times :)
And I figured, I give part of myself to my blogs. I take them seriously and they aren't meaningless no matter what the subject. I spend my time, offer my thoughts, memories and emotion to the blogs. They need to reflect me. And they need to be taken care of. Hence, the Pixie Stix!
Besides, this template is just FUN!
