"You want HOW MUCH?"

There are some pine nuts out there being sold. But not very much, so they can charge outrageous prices for them. I stopped by a table on the side of the road and asked how much a pound was. They told me they didn't measure them by pounds only by a plastic cup, I think. 1 cup was $10; 2 cups was $15; and about 3 cups was $20! Can you believe it? I was just shocked! Everyone is still bummed that there weren't enough pine nuts this year. But good things come to those who wait..........right?

Bad News!

Well unfortunately this year, because of the heat, there are no pine nuts. I could tell Grandpa was a disappointed. He looks forward to this time of year. But he says it has happened before. Hopefully it won't effect his well being. So we will keep you updated on Grandpa, but as for the Pine Nuts.........until next time!
