Good morning!!!!

Don- Thanks for the recipe. My recipe is similar; I really think collards need vinegar or a vinegar based hot sauce. I generally use smoked turkey legs for the smoke flavor instead of smoked pork hocks or fatback.

RonJH- I have not seen Spotted Lanternflies around here yet. Another invasive species to which to look forward.

Andrew- Thanks for sharing your world. I am happy to read that your Wife and children are doing well. Thanks for the pictures.

Horseradish is done. It took some extra time and breaths as the core of what looked to be a really healthy root had a rotten core. I am getting quicker and much less messy prepping this stuff nowadays.

I have this poltergeist inhabiting the house who loves to hide hand tools and small parts. It seems to be more active at night. Stuff is always some place different than where I left it. Maybe it’s Col. John Bryant looking for his hand tied flies.

Paul- I like your Wife's sense of humor.

Wife was kind enough to put a warning label on the almonds in my lunch today. And, you know what they say about stupid warning labels ... they exist because some idiot tried it.

So far, so good.

The problem is some want someone else to be responsible for them being a idiot.
Your wife is looking out for you eyes.

RonJH- Thanks for the link. I checked in the MassGov site and they are not here in MA yet. Spotted Lanternfly - Lycorma deliculata

PA apparently really tried to clamp down on this invasive species once discovered.

My day went down hill quickly. I had the new computer and monitor setting on top of our desktop calendar. Did not take wife long to remind me she had a Dr appointment this morning. Took care of that. When we got home removed old computer from desk and properly installed new computer. I think I am out of the dog house until the next misstep.

Were they pepper flavored?

Don- They were coated with wasabi powder/paste very similar to horseradish in heat and intensity. Most dried Wasabi powder sold in the USA is actually powdered horseradish + green dye and made in Japan.

I really like wasabi coated nuts, rice crackers, etc., but they can really put a hurting' on you if not careful.

Thanks J
Wasabi/horseradish is a flavor that is very bad tasting to me. I think it’s a genetic thing.

Way to avoid getting a civil lawsuit over injuries!

I like such snacks too, but I've noticed, at least over here, that MSG gets thrown into the mix.

Recently I got a tin of organic wasabi powder. In fact, more like a small percentage of wasabi and remainder horseradish, but sharper tasting than the paste we had from Lidl.

Speaking of which, has a Lidl opened up by any of y'all? The Atlanta area has them now, though my mother hasn't had a chance to shop there yet. I'm hoping they have the soft pretzels like the ones here as we're going to stay in Atlanta a few months this winter and my kids and me will miss otherwise that treat when we go shopping.

I feel certain I would not enjoy wasabi coated nuts, sounds painful!

Don’t like horseradish either.
