Cooking instruction summary:

Bake the almonds on a cookie sheet or in a baking dish at 350°F / 162°C for 10-12 minutes until they smell toasty. You should smell a nutty aroma coming from the oven when the almonds are ready. Remove the almonds from the oven and set aside.In a large bowl, combine the sugar and salt and set the bowl aside. Combine the maple syrup, water, oil, vanilla and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and add the almonds.Cook until the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently, which will take about 2-3 minutes. The liquid should turn into a sticky mess before it evaporates. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the nuts to the bowl with the sugar.Stir and make sure that they’re well coated. Pour the almonds onto a Silpat or piece of parchment paper to cool. If you eat one warm, the almonds will still be soft, but don’t worry. Once completely cooled, the almonds and the coating become crunchy. Good luck on rationing them. :)

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
