Where do you find Marcona almonds and black sesame seed? Don't think I've seen either.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers. And I'm sorry about your cat, too. 🙁

marconas I find at our local store similar to a Whole Foods - and I know Whole Foods carries them too. If you have a store with a 'gourmet' deli area of cheeses, olives, nuts... that's where I would look. black sesame I find in the bulk section.
thank you so much, Mary Pat - that means a great deal.
