Once you have eaten it you will go on and on making it
I did think when I got the recipe - it was one we had to make at night school - that I would hate it
But of course as part of the class course I had to make it - it just goes to show you dont know what yu like until you try it

Yum Jenny - I was going to ask if you would post the recipe. The Spanish do love their almonds and having seen fields and fields of them in March I know why they use them so much.

I didnt know that Jasmine - in fact I didnt think as to where they came from  I googled them and found this info Almonds are generally collected automatically by almond tree shakers. They are collected manually too in some regions depending on the plantation extension and accessibility. A green square cloth is set then under the tree and then its shaked using long canes until the fruits fall over it and manually collected.  |

There is one round the corner from me!! I couldnt believe it when I was walking on almonds when I took the dog for a walk I think it is at the end of the summer maybe Sept or Oct, I would have thought it isnt warm enough here  but they were definately almonds! my Son has a walnut tree in his house in France, although it wasnt a very good year for them last year ! sorry that was a change of NUT  |

It was really nice - hubby scrapped the bowl clean! Thanks Jennywren. I thought it would be a great soup for a summer dinner party, it was light and refreshing. I had a little left and that is for lunch today |
