"almond mushroom wild rice" news and stories

I've been doing these food holiday posts since last year and I'm pretty good at keeping track of what special food day it is and mentioning it here (if it's worth mentioning, that is). Somehow though I missed the fact that yesterday was National Almond Day. I almost bought almonds but decided to go with salt and pepper cashews instead. Big mistake. I love cashews, but these were the Target brand and they tasted like old salty Monopoly pieces.

Anyway, here are some facts about almonds, and here are recipes for Almond-Mushroom Wild Rice, Chocolate Almond Biscotti, Almond Roca, and Almond Cookies.
