Pistachios

This one is easy.  I am in love with pistachios.  As a vegetarian, I rely on nuts for needed protein and some vitamins.  It has become my habit to indulge in a large handful of pistachios late every afternoon, an accompaniment to my glass of wine.  I love everything about this.  I love splitting open the shells and extracting the meat.  I love gathering the empty shells back into the bowl.  I love putting aside the uncrackable ones.  I love searching for that last unshelled gem.

Pistachios are good for me.  They will lower my cholesterol, help me lose weight, and guarantee that I will win the lottery (if I would just remember to buy a ticket).

And they taste good, too.

Done.  (Nutty post, huh?  Or was it cheesy?)
