SC - Re: almond milk

[Elise Fleming]

Greetings!  I haven't tried Cariadoc's towel method for getting the 
skins off almonds but sqooshing them between your fingers works fine, 
or taking them between your hands and rubbing them together.  It's a 
good project for when you are watching tv!  I usually let the almonds 
sit in the boiling water (which is now cooling off) for 5 minutes, 
sometimes longer.  If a particular almond doesn't want to "strip" for 
you, plop it back in boiling water for a few more minutes.  Whole, 
unblanched almonds seem to retain their flavor and "essence" longer 
than those that have been slivered and blanched.
