piñones

They had artichokes for 33 cents each at the grocery store.

33. cents. each.
I went and got 40 of them.

Artichokes for dinner all week. Big grey-green piles of leaves and petals heaped up on the table every night.

But pine nuts are still ~$10/lb.

So we went out and collected some of our own this year.

(Also, FYI, they explode like popcorn/firecrackers if you keep them roasting too long.)
