Crunchy nuggets of joy & happiness

Now available in two varieties :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :

Origin: my wife & I were sitting in the hut on Wednesday evening enjoying some beverages while the egg was cooking our dinner. Usually we munch on chips & salsa or pretzels, but when I asked if we had any, she said no. I said we need some crunchy nuggets of joy & happiness always under these circumstances, then thought I would make some, so this is an idea that was actually named before it was created. I then thought what would really fit that description, & the obvious choice was mini bite-sized walnut rolled red eye maple pork nuggets, followed about 30 seconds later by a tropical selection, coconut rolled pineapple almond ground chicken thigh nuggets. So, here they are:

the stuff for the tropical nuggets:



grind up some thighs, and yes, the almonds are ground right on in there:



notice the change in color from chicken to nut:





there is an additional whole nut in the center, for elevated crunchositude :huh: :



the stuff for the pork nuggets:



all done & ready to go to the egg:





finished up & ready for dippage in various sauces:





hope everyone has a great & long weekend
