A delightful day with almonds

One of the pleasures of being a teacher is running into a student who "gets it."
I've been walking around with a bag of almonds.  There are two lessons:
1.  Eat for your brain, not your tongue.  Teenagers have many more taste buds than adults.  I get it.  Their tongues want to be stimulated, and manufacturers of food deliver Fritos and chips and the combination of "sugar, fat, salt" (described by Michael Moss).
2.  Receive the nuts the way an Asian person gets nuts...  POUR the nuts, don't reach into the bowl.
Freddy "got it."  He spoke with enthusiasm about the value of almonds for the brain and we recorded a short video that we plan to post and send to the Diamond Almonds company.   That was a delightful day.
