WHAT ARE YOU EATING TODAY?

Al Mealim, preferred choice, rather sweet and sticky with layered sweet pastry, much like Baklava.
Must give in to temptation, certainly less nutritious than the Dates.

If you were here you would be more than welcome to help yourself..

It's quite the rare sweet treat in my neck of the woods as well..
Distant memories of my youth and my association with Dates is all...

Peanut butter sounds good..

I snack on pitted Deglet Noor dates fairly often these days but shouldn't eat more than 2 at a time at most, due to carbohydrate content. Them, and the organic Turkish sun-dried brown apricots which are better for me health wise and have slightly fewer carbs in them.

And yes, putting one or the other into my mouth with 5-6 pecan nut halves (a 'super-nut' or 'super-food' of sorts) tastes awesome, like a small bite of a really good pecan pie or something. And I DO like pecan pie, though the only ones we've made in the last years have been keto pecan pies, and yes, they're OK. Not like the original real deal, but OK.
