Enjoyed this Movie

I watched the movie 'The Intern' the other night starring Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro and LOVED it!  I especially loved the positive message at the end.  It's a comedy and I thought the acting was great.

Then I was watching Jamie's Super Food and he was doing an episode in Costa Rica and discussed cashews.  You can learn more about them here, and see a photo of the cashew fruit. The cashew grows on a tree.  The accessory fruit is called the cashew apple and is juicy and edible.  The kidney-shaped true fruit grows at the end of the cashew apple.  Inside this fruit is a seed (or nut) coated with a poisonous layer.  Cashews have to be roasted outdoors because of this poison. 

I found this 4 minute video that shows you how to extract the cashew nuts from the fruit.

I like cashews do you?

If I ever had cashews before I don't remember it. Maybe it's time to try them. That's a movie I want to see - I'll have to see if it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I always like it when people recommend movies as it reminds me of some i have wanted to see.

I like cashews in kung pao chicken. They taste better than peanuts, in my opinion.

I'm glad you got to watch a movie you enjoyed. I don't think I've really eaten cashews before.

I tried to get my husband to watch it. I think he thought it might be too girly but it looks great!
