Don't worry, you still remind me of old Joan in your special way.

I have a severe obsession with pistachio kernels, and milder obsessions with almonds and cashews.

Not necessarily. Feel free to discuss your least favorite too.

I forgot pistachios. I used to love them but I'm given them by the truckload by students every holiday, so I'm sick of them.

Walnuts, pecans, and cashews are my favorites. Peanuts have too much salt, and I don't think I've ever eaten macademia nuts.

The first time I te macadamia I loved them, & they're still okay in cookies. They're not worth the price or the calories.

I'm a big fan of nuts, they're very beneficial. I like almonds best, though i eat SF seeds most (cheap) which have vitamin E. Did you know walnuts are the only thing besides fish and flaxseed oil that have Omega 3 fatty acid? Plus, nuts have slower release energy, which helps you feel full and keeps your blood sugar steady. My family has a little problem with Hypoglycemia (sugar makes us tired/irritable, but we crave it) and nuts can always come to the rescue of low blood sugar.

oh, yeah, i forgot how good and addictive pistachios are.

I've got bags of nuts in my pantry, but healthy or not, I don't have a strong desire to eat them soon. You're right, though, they are filling.

BTW, I love the peanuts in Cracker Jack. Anybody else?

You reminded me, I love DQ's Peanut Buster Parfaits, but they're so small. Damn it people. Stop it. Make them bigger.

Fabulous. Well, I suppose there are far worse things I could remind you of.

I like walnuts, peanuts and cashews. My favorite peanut butter is Skippy Super Crunch. I don't any of the above very often because of the high caloric content.

I love pistachios, cashews, and honey roasted peanuts. My favorite peanut butter is crunchy.

Okay, now YOU explain the appeal of walnuts. It can't be the flavor, which works only in brownies.

When I lived in Chicago I ate honey roasted peanuts & Ben & Jerry's every day. I miss that metabolism.
