    Default addicted to pistachios

    ugh Gabe bought a huge and I do mean HUGE bag of pistachios for me the other day. I wanted to cry just knowing that I would be eating every last one of those babies.

    I put them way back in the cabinet and they are calling me every minute of the day! In fact, I can't walk through the kitchen without grabbing a few.

    There isn't any way to eat 5 or 10 pistachios. I swear I could devour the entire bag!

    I was munching away at them and had to literally tell Gabe to take the bag away from me. rofl

    Anyone else love them?

    I'm happy he got me them because I love them so much, but ugh so many?

    I absolutely love all nuts. I tend to be a bit frustrated when I have to peel the shells off pistachios but that doesn't stop me from mowing through a bag of them

    Good on Gabe for treating you to such a big bag of nuts. I reckon you should just surrender and enjoy them.

    Steve and Ashley fight over them here. I don't care to much for any type of nut (or peanut butter).
    The good thing is Sara...Nuts are good for you! Just don't go nuts

    Pistachios (158 calories, 12.6 g fat per ounce) An ounce is about 20 pistachios.

    Let's just say I fully expect to GAIN weight this week.

    My dh LOVES them! To his credit, he hardly ever buys them though. I'll definitely have to put some in his Christmas stocking.

    Pistachios always remind me of The Naked Gun when Frank Drebin (Leslie Neilson) and the sarge are sitting on a stakeout and their mouths are just getting redder and redder like big clown lips - then they can't open the car doors when the suspect comes by cuz there are so many shells in mountains holding the doors closed. I am such a simple minded thing!!
