cpwc - create enhanced protein nut mixture with dried fruit support

cpwc [--roasted] [--salted] [--organic] [--tart] [--extra-fruit]

cpwc extends the basic cpw(1) functionality by adding dried cranberry support to the protein nut mixture. This enhancement provides additional antioxidants, fiber, and a tart-sweet flavor profile that complements the base nut combination.

The mixture combines:

• Cashews (Anacardium occidentale) - 1 lb
• Pecans (Carya illinoinensis) - 1 lb
• Walnuts (Juglans regia) - 1 lb
• Dried Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) - 1 lb

The cranberry addition maintains the "lazy mode" compatibility of the base cpw implementation, requiring no additional preparation steps beyond opening an additional package.

1. Execute base cpw(1) procedure (steps 1-3)
2. Open dried cranberry package
3. Add cranberries to existing nut mixture
4. Agitate container vigorously to ensure even distribution
5. Transfer to airtight storage container (larger capacity required)
6. Label with creation date and variant identifier (CPWC)

All options from cpw(1) are inherited. Additional options:

Basic CPWC mixture (lazy mode):

Open four 1-lb bags (cashews, pecans, walnuts, cranberries),
dump into container, shake vigorously, done.

Enhanced CPWC mixture:

Layer nuts first (cpw procedure), add cranberries as top layer,
mix thoroughly with wooden spoon to prevent cranberry clumping,
store in glass container with wide mouth for easy access.

Trail mix variant:

cpwc --roasted --extra-fruit
Optimal for hiking, camping, and extended AA meeting sessions.

Total yield: 4 pounds (64 oz)
Serving size: approximately 1 oz (28g)
Servings per batch: 64

Nutritional profile per serving (approximate):

• Calories: 170-190
• Protein: 4g (slightly reduced due to fruit dilution)
• Fat: 14g (mostly unsaturated)
• Carbohydrates: 12g (increased from cpw due to cranberries)
• Fiber: 2g (enhanced)
• Antioxidants: significantly increased (cranberry proanthocyanidins)

ADVANTAGES OVER CPW:

• Enhanced flavor complexity with tart-sweet profile
• Visual appeal - red cranberries provide color contrast
• Additional antioxidant benefits
• Reduced calorie density per volume due to lighter cranberries
• More festive appearance for holiday sharing

CAUTION: Not suitable for tree nut allergies. Sweetened cranberries add sugar content. High calorie density still requires portion control. May cause even more excessive snacking than base cpw variant.

Disappears from container approximately 25% faster than base cpw variant due to enhanced palatability.

Cranberries have tendency to settle toward top of container due to lower density. Periodic agitation recommended before serving.

Some users report difficulty stopping at recommended 1 oz serving size. This appears to be a feature, not a bug.

Dates were considered as alternative fruit component but rejected due to:

• Stickiness factor (non-lazy-mode-compatible)
• Required chopping (violates OBM-2024 specification)
• Size scale mismatch with nut components

However, the caramel flavor profile of dates is acknowledged as superior. Future development may explore date integration strategies.

cpwc is fully backward compatible with cpw. Any system that can execute cpw can execute cpwc with only the addition of dried cranberry inventory.

cpwc output can be consumed by all applications that accept cpw output, including but not limited to:

• snack(1)
• coffee-break(1)
• aa-meeting(1)
• documentation-session(1)
• late-night-coding(1)

cpw(1) - Base protein nut mixture without fruit support
trail(1) - More complex multi-ingredient hiking mixtures
snack(1) - General snacking utilities
gorp(1) - Good Old Raisins and Peanuts (legacy trail mix)
granola(1) - Baked cluster-based snack alternative
