We tested out a gadget my Auntie dropped off at the studio. She thought this would help in the production of our goodies and yes, we do spend a lot of time chopping by hand and what I'm beginning to realize is I have a level of control when I'm chopping by hand...and it's an even chop.

The device goes against our philosophy, we created slow snacks and we should stay true to that. I do appreciate her thoughtfulness and I will use the device to make our almond meal! Thanks for your support Auntie!

...I think my friend has become a puffy millet chewy cluster addict! That's a good thing!

Made a batch of almond flour from a one pound bag of raw almonds which produced 3/4 of a pound of flour. I priced a bag of almond flour at the Co-Op today, unfortunately the almond flour is not made from raw almonds. I was surprised to find quinoa flour...this inspired me to consider different "flours"--quinoa, millet, almond, flaxseed, adzuki beans and sesame.

 

Thank you Philip!
