Peanuts, sure. What other beans does one roast?

I guess most nuts are fruits as opposed to beans....so, you have me
thereg. That whole botanical classification thing was the culprit behind
botany being my only Biology
"B" as an undergrad....well, that, and the fact that it was the third of
three straight one-hour lectures on Mon, Weds and Friday mornings, and my
caffeine buzz had worn off by then.

Ah. I've never roasted nuts.....exactly. I occasionally toast them in a
pan prior to cooking with them, which amounts to about the same thing, I
suppose.

At any rate, roasting coffee seems an interesting process,

The process is about as simple as anything can be, aside from a bit of
experimenting with the darkness of the roast. I suspect it will soon lose
what little charm it has. The RESULT is what counts......fresh coffee!

and, hot damn if we didn't all have a 100-plus post discourse without
folks being called idiots, morons and the like!!! Woo-hoo!

Yeah, it was fun while it lasted, wasn't it.
