Yep. I forgot to say that I also tried to crack Macs with my teeth (without
insisting too much!), and it didn't work. Not surprising, since Macs have been
the ideal nut-cracker-crackers. I still have to improve before I can become a
pig.

Just in an ordinary grocery (the olives aren't organic), near center city (20th
and Chestnut). Oh, since we are talking about nuts, the streets here in Philly
have nice names, like Filbert, Walnut, Chestnut, Pine... But there is no "Cashew
Street" nor "Sprouted Thai Coconut Street".
