A 5 year old neighbor boy said to me yesterday, “your face is all squished up like a grandma’s.” WHAT?!?!?! I said. Luckily, I don’t take much stock into the opinions of a 5 year old. While I was on my mission however, a lovely woman from Ghana we visited (after not seeing her for a few months), said, “You are much bigger and fatter than last I saw you!” It appeared she meant it as a compliment! That one stung a little big more.
Anyway, on to better stuff. You all know how much my family LOVES pistachio’s! Well, when Everybody’s Nuts asked us if they could send us some pistachio’s, I couldn’t respond quickly enough. Then the package came! 4 BOXES of nuts! A hat, a shirt, and a stuffed pillow named Stasch! We loved it. They broke into the nuts right away and they are just about gone.
Here is some good health news about pistachios.
- 1 oz contains more antioxidants than a cup of green tea!
- 1 oz has more lutein than three medium tangerines or a glass of OJ
- 1 oz has vitamin B6 equal to two servings of avocados.
- They have more phytoesterols than any other nut.
- They are more nutrient dense than almonds or cashews.
- They are lower in fat and calories than other nuts.
We preferred nuts still in the shell. It slows you down when you are eating them! If shelled, we could down way too many.
Anyway, I’m giving away one box of these fabulous nuts. Just leave a comment to say you love pistachios. It has been brought to my attention some of your comments are getting trapped by my word press spam trapper! So I will start checking that as well. I do moderate all comments, but I do this regularly, as my laptop is on my kitchen counter, and I seem to spend ALL DAY in the kitchen. This contest is today only. I will pick a winner by morning.
