Also, the food of the day is coming to a close, it will soon be a year that I've been posting them and soon they will start to repeat. I'm not a good one with monotony.. Maybe I will find another food-related daily post.

There are 5,639 people in the U.S. listed on whitepages.com with the last name ‘Almond’.

Chocolate manufacturers use 40% of the worlds almonds (2008).

California produced 998 million pounds of almonds in 2004. The largest crop on record was in 2002, with 1.084 billion pounds.

It takes more than 1.2 million bee hives to pollinate California’s Almond crop (over 550,000 acres).

Chocolate manufacturers currently use 40 percent of the world’s almonds and 20 percent of the world’s peanuts.

These numbers are crazy out-dated, almonds are now used in such large numbers that deforestation is becoming a concern, mostly from almond milk consumption. And don't even get me started on the plight of the bees....

Have a great sober day, everyone. I know I will.

Stayed sober though I was really tempted sitting in a hotel wondering if we'd have a home left. A whole neighborhood right by us is gone, makes you stop and think how quickly you can lose everything.
