Wifester sent a bag to work with me today. I popped the hatch on them about five mintues ago. I CAN'T STOP.
I'm like some sort of crazed ginormous squirrel, huddled over in my little darkened corner of the office cracking shells and chewing as fast as I can, only stopping to lick the salt off my mouth when it starts to sting.
Ok, back to the frenetic snacking.

Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
my g-maw in a typically oddball December gift (fur hat with earflaps, 8 pack of tube socks, etc.) bought me a HUGE bag of pistachios one year--good times.
One of the few things that come from California that I like, but they can add the pounds real quick if you get addicted to them......
Yeh buddy. Those things are high in fat. We went to Sam's last week and I came up to the cart clutching a 4 lb bag of them and Wifester was like, "so I guess you've given up on that whole cutting bodyfat thing, eh."Originally Posted by IB4OU2
I slinked back over and put them away.

Pistachios are The Great Snack Food.
I got a bad mustache

I spend it on my stash.
Man it's good to be a geek!
That's one way to handle it. I'd have gone with one of these:
Yes, I'm still single and No I'd never hit a girl..

I can just picture V all hunched over his desk hissing at anyone that tries to take his precious...
Close. I'm now hiding under it in the darkest recess...

Originally, Pistachios were imported to the U.S. from Persia. Later from Iran. When the Shah croaked, Pistachios were as rare as Cuban Cigars. Then some people in California, and Southern New Mexico started raising them.
Red Pistachios will stain your fingers for approximately 3 weeks per pound eaten. FWIW
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup.
Why on Earth did they start dying them red anyway? I always thought that was ignorant.
i thought you guys only ate corn nuts?
Hmmmmmm.
Pistachio Fact & Fiction:
Why are pistachios sometimes dyed red?
The California pistachio industry often explains that this is done to hide blemishes on the shells. Actually, there's a different reason:
In the Middle East, pistachios were often left in their reddish husks and were brined before roasting. This gave the shells a pink cast. When pistachios were first imported into the U.S., processors attempted imitating the color by using red dye. They found that the coloring made the nuts more noticeable in retail displays and made the nuts even redder! (Middle Eastern people, who until recently were the biggest pistachio consumers, were accustomed to eating nuts with blemished shells and wouldn't care whether or not the nuts were dyed.)
Amidst current trends toward more “natural” foods, consumption of dyed red pistachios has declined dramatically in recent years.
