October 22 is National Nut Day, created to encourage healthier snack options.
My favorites are pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. Other than in peanut butter, I like peanuts best when I can eat them roasted from the shell. My college roommate used to bring back bags of peanuts after a weekend working in her parents’ grocery store and roast them for us as a snack to eat throughout the week. As a kid, I liked boiled peanuts (a snack discovered by a Yankee character traveling through the South in the Neverending Saga). I probably still would like them, but since I no longer drive rural Southern roads, I don’t get opportunities to buy them.
Showing support for the home team in tonight’s game by eating a few of these later.
What are your favorites?
Oh that’s easy: shelless peanuts or sunflower, but occasionally I’ll accept walnuts and rarely chipmunks I mean chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
I prefer my (dark or milk) chocolate with no nuts. Mounds is as far as I’ll go with coconuts.
I love Mounds and Almond Joys. I also like to put almonds in the middle of dates and eat them. I’ve never eaten a chestnut.
