Smoked Cashews

I have been waiting for two important ingredients, wood and cashews.  After I smoked peanuts, I opened my thoughts to what other nuts I could tamper with.  I drifted to what I did not have, cashews.  They arrived last week, but I was out of wood for my smoker.  The wood arrived in four flavors: cherry, hickory, mesquite and apple.  I opted for cherry wood and loaded the smoker with the nuts.  The flavor is incredible, almost like chocolate.  I took the nuts fresh from the smoker into the living room and began explaining with joy the process and how amazing smoked cashews are.  After I calmed down, I thought about another great product which showed up today, fresh langoustines.  With the taste of the smoked nuts in mind I assembled smoked cashew milk to be served with warmed langoustines, fresh chickpeas, grapes, nasturtium leaves and scallions.  The dish came together, seeminly by a series of coincidences.  Oh well, I am happy.
