Welcome to the nut house, would you like to be salted or honey roasted?
Most of us don't go around natural (I HOPE, it is a family forum after
all!), but we definitely consume a lot of ABS brick, among our group!
Glad to hear from you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (or is that BRICKDAY?) and we hope to

please feel free!
Best wishes to you!
Aaron (prefers almonds, roasted)
