Guess what you're getting for Christmas!

You've heard about our almond orchard next to Finca Vieja. We have a little less than an acre of assorted almond trees in various states of health. This year they are loaded with nuts. We go out every other day and spend a few hours knocking them out of the trees and bagging them up. I'm not sure how many kilos we'll end up with but it will be more than we can eat. We already have more than 50 kilos and there are a lot more out there. The good news is that they are absolutely fantastic! We'll probably devote one suitcase to almonds on the return trip if it's OK with the USDA.
