Happy Aloha Friday – Nutty Edition
Posted on Fri, Oct 12, 2007 by Sheila
Ah, it’s Friday! We had a fun response with last week’s Aloha Friday, so I thought we’d try it again.
If you have a blog and would like to participate in Aloha Friday too, then go to An Island Life to check out the details. It’s easy to do and a lot of fun to welcome in the weekend Hawaii-style.
Earlier, I shared some information on macadamia nuts and visiting farms in Hawaii. (The photo on the left is a macadamia nut tree, by the way.) So, I thought we’d continue the nut theme for this week’s Aloha Friday. I love macadamia nuts, especially when they are milk chocolate toffee coated. They are so ono! (Ono is the Hawaiian word for delicious.) Are you nutty over nuts, too? What’s your favorite nut?

I love nuts – nuts do not love me. *sniff* However, my favorite is the cashew. I used to eat them by the cans full. Of course, I paid for it later, but it was worth the discomfort! lol

I love nuts. My favorite would be pistachio nuts.
Thanks for visiting. Happy weekend!

LOL, Karen. Cashews are great!
Rach – I like pistachios to an extent and as long as I don’t look at them. The green stuff freaks me out.

I love macadamia nuts, but Godiva Chocolates has a hazelnut chocolate to die for and I absolutely love the hot nuts they serve on airplanes. (Although I never eat the pistachios, sorry Rach & Sheila) I think I have to say macadamia nuts are my favorite especially with white chocolate in cookies.

My love for peanuts is too great for words!
[Reply]
I’m not a nut lover but I could eat a ton of macadamia nuts! Yum!

White chocolate Macadamia nut cookies are my favorite. I also like Cinnamon roasted almonds.

Maybe this nut theme wasn’t such a good idea….I’m CRAVING all of these nut suggestions now.
Pinkjagxj & Christine – are you talking about the refrigerated toll house kind of white chocolate mac nut cookies? I LOVE those!
Summer – Peanuts are great, too….and a lot cheaper than mac nuts.
Thanks everyone for stopping in and commenting.

My favorite nut is the Cashew, it is creamy and delicious. High in fat but yummy non the less.

If you are a macadamia nut addict, things are not get any easier after you try a toffee covered macadamia nut by Island Princess.
[Reply]
Debo Hobo – They are high in fat, but let’s keep telling ourselves that it’s healthy fat.
Christian – Uh oh….I’ve not tried Island Princess brand. I bet I could put “a hurtin’ on those in a hurry”.
Where do you find that brand?
[Reply]
I’ve seen them on this site:

If you live in place with hot climate, you shouldn’t order them until fall or winter because they can melt while they are in the mail.

Christian – Thanks for the link. Are they better than the Mauna Loa milk chocolate toffee covered?
[Reply]
You guys are all nuts! LOL. Hey Debo Hobo, have you ever tried Cashew Butter (in place of peanut butter)? Man is it good, but Sheila is correct, Cashews are not healthy for you. (If you want more nutritional tips, visit my blog) Sheila, I like your blog. I am jealous you visit Hawaii often. I will make it there someday …somehow.

CoryL – thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope you’ll get to Hawaii soon, but if not, hopefully you get a glipse of Hawaii by visiting this blog.

You’re all nuttier than squirrel poop!

Sheila,
I haven’t tried the refrigerator Toll House cookies but you can bet I will now. Anytime I see fresh White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies I have to have some. Mrs. Fields, Subway, Cocoa’s. My husband and I recently moved from Florida to CA and we had plenty of opportunities to eat out and find fresh cookies.
[Reply]
Hazelnut, for sure. But I love any nut that’s got chocolate all over it.
[Reply]
I am crazy over macadamia nuts! I would top my brownie with macadamia instead of walnuts!
[Reply]
pinkjagxj – let me know if you end up liking the refrigerated white choc mac nut cookies. The taste and smell so good.
Marie – yum…hazelnuts and chocolate…that’s a great combination!
Grace – I’ve not tried mac nuts on brownies, but sounds delicious. I love the flavor of roasted nuts.

macadamia nuts in teriyaki with wasabi, yum!!!!! we got it cheap in walmart, HNL.
