I finally got to use the macadamia nuts we bought in Germany.
I don't remember if I wrote about the nuts we bought at an Edeka store in Germany in our trip blogs; specifically, these nuts--
We actually stopped at an Edeka store somewhere in Germany specifically to buy the nuts. Loraine had grabbed a flier at one of their other stores, was leafing through it, and noticed that you could buy a pound of the nuts for 2 or three Euro. Normally, that would cost 12 or 13 bucks in the US, so we stopped at the next Edeka we passed, walked in, bought the bag of nuts, and walked out.
Yes, we DO do strange things when we travel.
Anyway, we brought the nuts home with us, and they've been sitting on a kitchen shelf ever since. Loraine then decided that this past weekend would be brownie weekend, a weekend we do once or twice a year when I make a batch of (very) decadent brownies and we eat them. We both decided it was time to use the nuts, so in the end we devoured what we're calling Jim's German brownies, with a dark chocolate Bailey's ganache on top, made with the bag of macadamia nuts we brought back from Germany. Even just thinking about them makes you gain a pound; imagine what is was like actually eating them.
Don't worry. We consumed the calories so you didn't have to.
So the next time you're in Germany, and see in a grocery store flier that macadamia nuts are on sale, buy them. You won't be sorry.
