Having read up on the benefits of hazelnuts I've decided to add them into my routine.
I watched 3 videos. The knife. The vice-grip. The combo hacksaw and pliers. I was not impressed by any of these approaches,
I've decided to go instead with the combo lobster/nutcracker from the Good Cook.
Health benefits of Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts are very high in energy and loaded with numerous health-benefiting nutrients that are essential for optimum health. 100 g nuts carry 628 calories. They are rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids like oleic as well as essential fatty acid, linoleic acid that helps lower LDL or bad cholesterol and rise HDL or good cholesterol. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet plentiful in monounsaturated fatty acids help to prevent coronary artery disease, and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile.
The nuts are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals and packed with numerous health promoting phyto-chemicals. Altogether, they help protect from diseases and cancers.
Hazels are exceptionally rich in folate, which is a unique feature for the nuts. 100 g fresh nuts carry 113 µg; that is, about 28% recommended daily intake of this vitamin. Folate is an important B-complex vitamin that helps prevent megaloblastic anemia, and most importantly, neural tube defects in the newborn. Good news for the expectant mothers!
Hazel nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E; contain about 15 g per 100 g (providing 100% of RDA). Vitamin E is a powerful lipid soluble antioxidant required for maintaining the integrity of cell membrane of mucusa and skin by protecting it from harmful oxygen-free radicals.
The nuts, like in almonds, are free from gluten, and therefore, safe alternative food sources that can be employed in the preparation of gluten-free food formulas for gluten-sensitive, wheat allergic, and celiac disease patients.
Besides being rich in folates, they are packed with many other important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6).
They are rich source of minerals like manganese, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Copper and manganese are essential co-factors for anti-oxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Iron helps prevent microcytic-anemia. Magnesium and phosphorus are important components of bone metabolism.
Hazelnut oil has nutty aroma and has excellent astringent properties. It helps keep skin well protected from dryness. The oil has also been used in cooking, and as “carrier or base oil” in traditional medicines in massage therapy, aromatherapy, in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
EDIT:
And oooie, Michele is gonna be fuming, if not flaming, over you reminding me of "you're so square". However, as bH says, I don't really care.

Thought I'd post this here now lest Father's Day rolls around and I forget...
Remind Me
Remind me to remind myself of reminders I need reminding of
Remind me to forget what isn’t possible to stay current of
Remind me not to remember why my age still fits me like a glove
Remind me that my memory’s as fleeting as one's first true love
Remind me then to take the time to scratch my dogs the way they love
Remind me of my empathy for the leviathan and the feathered dove
Remind me why I never have a dollar I'm ungrateful of
Remind me that no matter what there’s hardly call to push or shove
Remind me there’s compassion for which I've often fallen short of
Remind me why there’s kindness once I felt so damned unworthy of
Remind me to remember how I've wondered at the sky above
Remind me to remind myself to kiss and hug the ones I love
Remind me that I've lived enough to understand a father's love
Remind me once again to remember what I was thinking of…
…Oh yeah,
Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

Doh! zBrown, it's the Synch.
It may be the Kitchen Synch.
For the record, I have no bathroom window, but there is a Bathroom Synch.
I've given up on polyethylene spam, as well as coffee.
I mentioned I'd bought a package of spirulina-laced cereal product from Asia in MooseDoc's thread promoting his health cure.
Well, I did some surfing and got my toes wet instructing myself on the bennies of using this cyanobacteria.
Wellness Mama says good things about it, but warns of using anticoagulents with names like Coumadin and Warfarin (she doesn't mention them specifically), which I am taking. They are the same drug, BTW.
http://wellnessmama.com/4738/spirulina-herb-profile/
Herb L. Remedies says this:
There are no documented reports of a proven interaction between Coumadin and any of these herbs listed above. However, patients taking these herbs while on Coumadin should be closely watched for signs of bleeding. Herbs that potentially can increase bleeding time should be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery and not be taken until approval of the treating physician.
http://www.herbalremedies.com/blthansu.html
You will see that turmeric is on the list. Another Indian remedy.
Ginger is on the list, MooseDoc's method has ginger extract.
So I spoke with my wellness guy in the anticoagulent clinic yesterday and we went round and round over my consumption of broccoli florets. The medicos don't like us Warfies to eat very much green leafy stuff. I lowers our numbers. I need to touch bases with Will on the spirulina, just to get him going. He's a young man and new to the job, so he's eager to learn this stuff. This should keep him occupied finding more about this interaction possibility.
I like side-stepping the doctor. I still have it in for him for refusing to let me have hernia surgery "any time soon." I guess I'll have to go see him, pending the follow-up from Will on spirulina.
I'm going to go ahead and try one serving of this Nutra-8 cereal mix. I need to know if I can take the taste of spirulina, which is ALWAYS reported as tasting like pond scum. I may have had some contact immersion in a scummy pond hunting frogs, but the taste eludes me. Of course, it is pond scum, but what we get in powdered form from reliable sources is not contaminated with nasties, like some producers' products.

Tim, that is 22 carat gold!
You've been mining your mind
Trying to find
A word that rhymes with "of"
No better than love
You've now lowered your PHR (Poets Handicap Rating) with this one round
By rhyming this happy sound
With something that fits your dad like a glove.
Happy Fathers' Day to ALL Dads, Old Dads like us especially.

Me, just like the PD requested, "sheltering in place here". Kinda weak sauce compared to Los Palillos who lived right up the street.
Big wall ain't gonna help in either case.
A meeting between Homeland Security investigators and suspected high level drug dealers unraveled Tuesday when some sort of violent struggle escalated to an officer-involved shooting in Chula Vista's Eastlake neighborhood, Chula Vista Police (CVPD) Captain Lon Turner said.
Their bodies were dissolved in two 55-gallon drums of lye in a room off the kitchen. While the remains dissolved over two days, gang members barbecued meats in the backyard to disguise the odors drifting over the residential neighborhood, Fontaine said.

^^^Eye rolling is way more bad-ass than kitten huffing. It's good for you, too.
Unlike kitten hugging, dwarf throwing, and chile-plugging, which are often just plain ugly.

But I've rolled my eyes lots when no pebbles are tossed, the air is dead still and muggy, and the guide has gone off with the llamas, and it's done no good at all.
*sigh*
Time for some real, old-fashion chile to pile on top of your Powder Milk Biscuits, like Chilo's Chile, the finest from Mesilla, where they raise them hotties just for you.
It's far more than expeditious.
It gets the lead out.

Some times the oldies from the softer sounds of my life still make the most sense to me
[Click to View YouTube Video] I know, we want people in, not avoiding jumpin' in.
Burch lurks, we know him, but I'm not sure? Should I stand and take it,
or retaliate? Get pics of me with our Glok or just sit back
& listen to a Glockenspiel?
Again I'm sorry to absorb a ton of whatever,
and I blame myself for at least one who has left this circus tent.
Any way here comes some more bubble gum music that keeps me numb

You can heat a can, right? But can you can heat?
Must have intrigued the hells angels enough to send four emissaries to the experiment.
Never tried to tumble my eyes.

Spirulina cereal mix just after adding hot water.
It turned green, like you would think--it's a nondescript beige in it's powdered state.
Here's the good news--Mikey likes it! And so do I.
I had "got milk" so I added a tiny bit.
I had this naranja, as well.Rhymes not with orange but with mandarina.
"Please, may I have more spirulina?"
"Can it, kid."
"Then, may I have another olive, sir?"
"Stuff it, kid."
And so the idea was born...
It turned into a twofer for Oliver.
But there is a clever plot twist at the end.
"Oliver twists the arm of Napoleon Brandywine"...
in the next installment of The Chronicles of Spirulina and Buckwheat.
