Almond flour pastry

On the 26th I wrote about the low glycemic index of almond flour. Although I bought finely ground for my experiment, it's like eating bran. I guess you need the finely ground without the testa or skin. This sticks to your teeth for hours.

California is the largest grower of almonds which were developed in Asia and have been harvested since antiquity. In California, the shaker machine to knock the almonds off the trees is followed by a picker-upper machine that collects the fallen fruits. You would think an agricultural crop this ancient could find a better word than "picker-upper."
