A new vacuum cleaner as the hose ripped off on my old one and I thought it might be easier just to buy a new one. It was only £50 in a sale and I got 10% cashback.

If the nuts are for the pesto, you want to use pine nuts.

They don't have pine nuts at DHF.... LOL
I know pine nuts are "traditional", but nothing about this is normal pesto.... nooch instead of parm, no salt, no cholesterol.... smells soooo good, though!!
I've always used walnuts. Pine nuts are crazy expensive here - like $15 a pound! I use walnuts almost daily, in salads, burgers, tempeh sausage-and pesto! Stocked up pretty good when they were $2.50 a pound
I've never considered almonds for pesto. I think that would be good, I wonder how the texture would be, they're more 'gritty'
Or cashews?

You can use any nuts when making pesto. I often use a mix of seeds ; sunflower, pumpkin plus a few nuts.

It was a toss up for me.... cashews have a much stronger, sweeter flavor on their own (I adore them, miss them), but are more... fragile, I guess I wanna say. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Almonds, in my brief experience with experimenting with "replacements", tend to be a bit tough unless soaked... I chose raw walnuts for the non-overpowering taste & the "grindability".... I'm actually about to blend up the the almost-there pesto now (now that I've retrieved my processor dish from Jer's).... switching threads.

The last thing I actually bought was an iced coffee from Starbucks.

We bought a 2013 Peugeot 208 - nice little car with a decent engine and reasonable mileage. We don't actually get to pick it up for a few days, though
Oh, wow, very cool car! I had to wait a few days to pick mine up as well. Paperwork or something, lol.We bought a 2013 Peugeot 208 - nice little car with a decent engine and reasonable mileage. We don't actually get to pick it up for a few days, though
