No one was more surprised than I was when we walked into a Plow and Hearth store and Alex went straight for the peanuts. They had a big display of them for Christmas and several cans were open for tasting. He explained that he had long been curious about these Virginia peanuts and proceeded to thoughtfully taste each and every flavor. It was adorable and he truly enjoyed the nuts, exclaiming over the dill pickle flavored ones and savoring each crunchy little bite. Of course he didn't buy any for himself so I made my way back over to the store the week before Christmas. I bought him three varieties but his favorites were the Dill Pickle and the Honey Roasted. We put them out for the crowd on Christmas Day and he insisted that everyone try the two peanuts together. He savored sharing them as much as he did each bite. They were a huge hit. Sometimes it's the little gifts that have the greatest impact.
