RE: A Mega Post Calls for Mega Energy! {Warming Date Shake to Celebrate a Victory}
#jealous ;)
I still have some shell stuck underneath my fingernails I think. Though I can't complain as they were already cracked, so it was a much easier go than if I had to crack them all first! A tedious venture, but worth it for those deliciously fresh treats inside!
I would totally make this again with whole dates. That's the benefit of having finally invested in a good quality blender--that thing can whiz up just about anything! I always have some of those little beauties on hand, though I probably most often enjoy them as is. Such a wonderful little fruit they are!
I love dates, too. My dad did, also. I remember one year getting him a box for Christmas - still on the stalks and with a little fork in the box. I could eat an entire box, myself, if it weren't for their being just sooo sweet!
Coincidentally, I bought my mom a box this year! She loved the Barhi variety I got last time, and luckily they just harvested their 2019 crop so I ordered one for her this time around. That is probably the good thing about them--I adore them, but they are sweet enough to keep me from overeating, too. ;)
I have a friend who works for a company that exports dates.... Let me just say: I don't see her often enough during harvest :P
