I never heard of kunefe, so I looked it up. Sounds delicious. I’m kind of ticked off since I recently bought an expensive nut assortment as a thank you gift for a local business that did a favor for my son, but my son beat me to it with his own gift. So we’ve been eating the nuts, but hadn’t gotten to the pistachios yet. Now I’m afraid to try them.

God help us if RFK Jr. allows bird flu to run rampant, as he’s proposed. Or some kind of infection in cattle. Or any kind of infection in anything, since he won’t test for it. I’m amazed that there isn’t more pushback against these reckless policies.
