Pine Nuts

Wow!

I am making basil tarragon pesto tonight and I stopped by the local Turkish store to get some pine nuts. I loaded up about a pound and went to the cashier. $18.35!!! I had NO IDEA that pine nuts were so freaking expensive!!

I researched this a bit and found that since so much work is required into getting the nuts, they're pretty rare and thus, very expensive. Well, now I know better. I'll store my precious supply and use it sparingly. :)

Recipe/picture post will follow with my crazy pesto adventure.
