Or at least you shouldn’t. It is humanly possible, but the keyboard is a mess after one nut.
Now pistachios are another story, until one shell escapes and Alice decides to suck all of its salty goodness off, leaving a slimy lump. At the end of the day I happily retire to my sanctuary to write or read. After being on my feet all day, being prone is such a luxury. Regardless of how good dinner was, by about 8:30 I get the munchies, though not because of any substance use or abuse. Maybe it is just an old habit, but I crave salt and love the delightful crack of opening fresh roasted pistachios.
During our grocery store strike, I couldn’t find my usual brand and refused to pay the inflated prices for a different bag. Roasted peanuts should be just as satisfying and were so cheap. I don’t recommend it.
There are no life lessons here, no pithy wisdoms, just a rather naked view into the life of a slightly crazy, almost 60-year old woman who lives with too many animals…

Oh, how I love those tasty green nuts in the (sometimes!) infuriatingly hard to crack shells. The photo of your pets — especially the pooch! — made me smile. 🙂

I love pistachios! When I was growing up, every year for Christmas, my grandparents would buy me a 2# bag of them. Of course back then, they were the ones dyed red. Pink lips and fingers for weeks! You haven’t seen a dog enjoy a nut until you’ve seen Diesel eat a walnut! He cracks it open, eats the meat and leaves me a slobbery pile of shell.

I remember the red ones Laura. Not sure what the purpose of the red dye was, probably was also a health hazard. Oh Diesel, funny old dog!!
