>Pesto with lucky pig ham and organic whole wheat elbows...used sprouted walnut

instead of pinenuts this year due to inflated costs for pinenuts..still

good...red wine too

Speaking of pine nuts...

A month or so ago, I made a salad with pine nuts. I experienced something

called " pine nut mouth " .

They were not organic pine nuts. Not sure if that makes a difference in

those affected or not though, as they do not think it is a pesticide issue.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else comes across it and thinks

they are going crazy because everything they eat tastes like soap. My

symptoms lasted 10 days. It was initially so bad, I could barely stand to

eat. It was so annoying, I will likely never eat a pine nut again.

I did let the grocery store know and filed a complaint with the MDH.
