New recipe, June 17, 2012

Caramelized Cashews with Cayenne from Epicurious.
Today was the first day of the Bicycle Tour of Colorado--a relatively easy day from Fort Collins to Laramie, Wyoming, about 66 miles. Easy til you add in the 30 mile an hour crossing headwind. Quite an experience, spending the whole day on the bike leaning into the traffic lane to avoid being blown off the road. When a large vehicle goes by, you have to lean in harder when the bow wave hits you, and then lean away when the vortex sucks you in. We made it!
Like last year, we had to assemble them before we left Denver, but we made a new snack for every day. Today's is the cashews. We did learn that you have to watch nuts very carefully when you toast them-it is very easy to go too far. These might have been slightly over toasted, but we give them a 4.
