Actually, Fadi, they are now widely available in many health food shops in Australia.
Prior to that, you only used to find them at Italian delis.
Thank you for this info Vivian. Are they used for medicinal purposes do you know? Funny, as children, we just used to crack open the apricot kernel and enjoy that bitter/sweet kernel inside,...no questions asked! I believe we simply followed our instinct by having just enough due to the bitterness and the task involved in extracting the kernel from its hard shell.

i'm not sure, Fadi, re the health/medicinal side. But I'm also used to having them. They are commonly used in Italy for desserts and used to be mixed with sweet almonds routinely. I think yes, we instinctively only have a bit due to the bitter taste, so just enough to do us good :)

That's the reason for the bitter taste in nature, isn't it? to either prevent us from eating a food, or limiting how much we have lol

baked heaps tonight, one was an omelette creation in my new fav pan, its a bread type tray, i put a double layer of aluminum foil down then baking paper (wax paper), to create a great heating zone;

potato pre cooked, and sliced thin, covering the bottom, then 3 good eggs (Not cheap caged, they taste so bad and so runny n shit), then broken up kale and patted down to soak into, then 3 more eggs... then bake 17 mins @ 400f (200c ish my oven is old and in F), then added cheese in small clumps on top and bake another 5-7 mins.

let it cool, and then unwrap from the baking paper;

i cut into 3, they last 2 days in the fridge. eggs don't last very long so make sure you use one of the coldest area's without freezing it. didn't think to take a photo after i cut them into 3, but omg so good...

re-heat for 12mins in 400f oven, or put on a bun or add meat, its a starter, it needs more. but its there. and its good.

edit: i used to use plastic containers, and even had a legit air extraction with sealer in plastic device... now i just use cheap ziplock baggies, and put all my food in those once cooked, separated and ready to go tho.

at work i use paper towls and put 4 down, then 2 folded in 3, then put the food on that to reheat. at home its oven only, but at work, you gotta eat good too, i will use the microwave, but no plastic in it.
hope this helps some others, respect fellow foodists.

Tried bn protein pancakes. Maybe I shouldn't have stolen one of the kids pancakes first but not a fan. I'll just mix protein and oats in a shaker I think.
