Being in Georgia, some spalted pecan today. Even here they are expensive and there is an orchard right down the road!

That's how I feel about pistachios. Over 600,000 acres of pistachios in this valley but the local price is still high.

Almost three times as many acres are planted in almonds, but I usually get them for free from a friend who manages an almond processing facility that handles 400,000 lbs per day. Imagine the divine smell in the parking lot of that facility where they are roasting that many almonds per day. And that is not even the largest almond processer around here (in addition to shipping a lot overseas my friend's plant also supplies all of the almonds for any Kirkland brand products, as well as M&M/Mars).

That is sad about the pistachios, but great about the almonds.
I used to take my mustang to get worked on across the street from a Nestle's factory that roasted coffee beans. Heavenly smell.

Good afternoon Guardians, apologies for my absence. I was expecting the legal hearing I covered yesterday to last no more than half an hour, but it dragged on for three! It was nearly 5pm by the time I got out of court, and I was supposed to be meeting Matt for tea! Fortunately, I managed to get a lift home, and the traffic was surprisingly light. I jumped in the shower, got changed, typed up my court notes, and headed out to meet Matt, and we had a great evening out, which extended until about 2.30am :D Unfortunately, this morning, I received more work, which needed to be done quickly, so I've only just got that done! :eek: I hope everyone is well, and having a great weekend :thumbsup:

That kind of thing never ceases to irritate me! 😖 Here, the most expensive place to buy fresh fish or seafood is at the coast :rolleyes:

When I was a boy in Sheffield, there was a very old deli and coffee-roasters, and you could smell the roasting coffee all over the city centre. I never smell that aroma anymore, the same with the smell of hops from the brewery. I figure they maybe have filters and extraction fans now, or something 🤷‍♂️

It's been about the same here Steve, yesterday was quite nice, but the weather has definitely started to get cooler and wetter. I read that we had the warmest UK summer since records began, which surprised me, but it was a pretty nice one here. I am grateful! :D :thumbsup:

It's about twice the price of sugar here, maybe more, but I don't use much :thumbsup:

They figure that the people who go to the coast have more disposable income and are willing to pay a premium for fresh seafood. Kind of like the farmer's markets around here. Putting a sign up saying that it is locally grown doubles the price. Never mind that most of the produce that is found in the grocery stores around here is also grown within a few hours drive of here. The local farmers markets cater to the rich folks.

I bet this is a result of someone filing an environmental damage claim. Can't have aromas destroying our environment.:(
