Snack Foods

With baseball season right around the corner, it brings to mind youthful memories of opening day, Cracker-Jacks, and “Take Me Out to The Ballgame”! It also reminds me of my favorite snack food, sunflower seeds.
I brought one bag full with me in February and they have run out now despite my rationing of them. I have found a substitute for them, although very strange, in lotus flower seeds. You see people all over the place selling the green pods for snacking on. Yesterday I bought my first ones to try out. As you can see on my face and Gail’s, they are a little different! I may have to look for another substitution. I don’t think they will overtake the snack market in the US anytime soon!
