Hi, I have bought nuts and other baking needs from Puritan Pride. I believe their website is:

Hi, I have seen the tiny packages of nuts at the grocery store in the baking aisle, and I typically purchase pecans at a church fundraiser later on in the year in pound packages, but is there a place where one can get nuts (even in the shell) at a good price? The farmers' market prices around here are outrageous! I am thinking specifically of walnuts and pecans for baking. Re Cheeseburgers, my brother had a Foreman with a bun toaster on top. There is nothing worse than cheese stuck all over everywhere, so I prefer the method described of putting the lid on top of the meat and cheese and letting it melt. You have to slightly undo the glorious creation to add lettuce, tomato, relish, caramelized onions, etc., but it works. I tend to add dry seasonings to the ground meat, whether it is beef or turkey, always taking care not to handle the meat too much. Ground sage is lovely with turkey burgers. I measure out the weight of patties on the kitchen scale. I had never thought of baking them, but it makes a lot of sense. I don't eat much beef, but I keep a few small hamburger patties and some cooked rice in the freezer to feed my sweet Seeing Eye dog if he ever gets sick. Re carrot cake: do we archive? I think we had easily over 30 really creative recipes for carrot cake about two months ago, though I wouldn't mind seeing them again, lol. :-) I confess I kept mainly the quickbread ones, because the cake sounded like a bit more trouble. I tried the ice cream scoop for pouring batter, and made more of a mess than I do pouring from the bowl. I tend to pour from the bowl, and carefully wipe off any excess with a paper towel before putting the pan in the oven. I hate using paper muffin cups and prefer to grease the pan instead.
