I recently discovered that brazil nuts come in clusters from a hard brown shell [fruit]… bizarre.
Don’t ask me where I thought they came from previously to now…

My lesson today:
A brazil nut is a seed from a fruit.
The fruit belongs to the tropical American evergreen tree, which is found in abundance in the Amazonian rain forest.

when the fruit is cracked open, the seeds [brazil nuts] are contained within in.

I’m sure I’ve covered Sunday Secrets before (?), but simply put, it’s a public domain for peoples inner secrets. People Anonymously create / send postcards to a real life address to a guy named Frank Warren, who then selectively puts them onto a blog every Sunday – you can even buy books compiled solely of this art work! (see amazon links)

Here are a couple of picks from this weeks post:
