Day 15

Some days you just need to come home and make yourself a stiff drink,

put your feet up, listen to some great music and forget about the day.

These tasty, warm nuts help sooth those raveled edges.

HOT NUTS

Take about 2 cups of assorted unsalted nuts

(almonds, Brazil, cashews, hazel, pecans and/or walnuts)

Roast carefully in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes

Watch carefully so they don't burn - you'll smell them getting toasty

Meanwhile, mix this in a small bowl:

2 teaspoons of salt

2 teaspoons of brown sugar

as much cayenne as you like

1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

Place the warms nuts in a bowl

Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of soft butter

And toss with the spice mixture.

Try with an ice cold sauvignon blanc,

or my favorite Jose Cuervo Familia Reserve on the rocks.
