week ThreE: Almendrados

First the shell, then a rough skin and finally the almond. Three layers to reach the nut! How many layers of memories can we associate with almonds?
1. almond blossom trees that cover the mountains in white and pink for just a couple of days. 2. bags and bags of almonds that appear at portguese houses every winter. 3. delicate bags offered to friends - such a simple present. 4. a long list of sweet flavors and nutty aromas that can be cooked with this nut.
And here, for you. A perfect cookie with an almond on top!
