"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?
