Sahale Nut Snacks

I've a new snack favorite! Well, it's been my favorite for a year now to be perfectly honest. But I've recently had a renewed love affair with it and it's just as good as it was the first time. :)

My new favorite tasty treat is Sahale's Valdosta Pecans. These pecans are flavored with sweet cranberries, black pepper and orange zest. It's savory, sour, spicy and sweet all in one snack. The spiciness of the black pepper, tang of the orange, and sweetness of the cranberries go so well with the meaty pecans. I love love love them!

I've tried a few other variants too, such as:

The Tuscan Almonds tasted like pizza. They were good and savory but the Valdosta Pecans still win by a mile.

I've also tried this variant:

The Socorro Macadamias were savory and interesting. But again, the Valdosta Pecans wins!

There are still a few variants to try. And they're all available at a Healthy Options store near you. They're P235 each. A bit pricey but worth every penny. :)

View From My Window

I've been so swamped with school work that I've not touched the Water For Elephants book ever since I bought it. Aside from my Economics and Accounting textbooks, the only other reading materials I've laid my hands on are Archie comics from the 1990s. After all these years I still love them haha.

I can't seem to bring myself to read anything else aside from my school mandated books. I feel a bit lazy these days to be honest. All these numbers and economic theories are messing with my sanity and energy. Economics is depressing. The Philippines has been suffering from all sorts of short-sighted economic policies and the prognosis is alarming. I've wept over the Foreign Direct Investments figures and Growth Levels for months. Accounting is too taxing (pardon the pun) as well. My mind was not meant to do cash flow statements and balance sheets. I'm too incompetent. My talents lie elsewhere, I think. Much as these subjects are interesting and fun (gasp! I can't believe I just said that), they're not easy to understand as a Communications grad. My brain's getting exercise fatigue.

The weather in Cebu has been rainy since last month too. It's bed weather all day, everyday. And that's hardly conducive to reading. To sleeping, yes. But to reading, a big fat no.

Sigh...I'd rather stare outside my window than do more reading. Boo! But check out my view! Aren't the cotton candy pink and purple clouds too cute for words??? :)
