    legumes right?

    ever notice the sturdy corrugated construction of the shell? light yet strong, like cardboard. took a genius to finally come up with the idea for cardboard. evolution did it with just a few hundred accidents.

    oh yes, so how do you get to the nut without great effort and making a mess? evolution thought of placing a seam all around the shell so that a slight pressure would open it cleanly. how kind of evolution.

    and the peanuts come all wrapped up in beautiful red paper to enhance the eating pleasure.

    then comes the lovely unique taste, and the proteins, sugars, antioxidants, vitamins, starches, oils.

    Chasdei Hashem!!

    chuck, the line about the kiddush was supposed to tip you off to the joke without spoiling it completely.

    I didn’t know that evolution had brains and that it/he/she thought through all of its actions…

    syrian- let’s hook up. Check out what one of the mods (the one that choses to stay anonymous) wrote to me on the Carlebach thread.

    We need to create a support group- I need therapy for this kind of bashing

    out of touch with what?

    what reality?

    did you learn the Shaar Bchina in Chovos HaLavos?

    are you familiar, do you understand what Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tz’l said so often?

    syrian,

    he said he meant group therapy. Lets not veer in a direction that will get this thread shut down.

    Hashem created the shell that way so that human beings, who are tachlis habriyah, could easily find a way to open it and therefore make the nutrients and taste of the pistachio easily accessible. This has nothing to do with careless, amoral evolution and the survival of the fittest.

    (It is interesting that when Khomeini YMS took over in Iran, which I remember very well, the US pistachio supply was not interrupted for very long as first California and then I believe Turkey took up the slack).

    Hi fellow nut jobs- I am the niece of the aformentioned (on page one) niece and uncle reunion. I figured out that he was my uncle based on the content of his posts and what interests him. We had a good laugh when we made the connection, though! Oh- and it was all done without breaching any personal boundries on YWN.

    Feivel – I was 90% sure you were being facetious but I wanted to be sure no one who is wavering would take the post as an endorsement of evolution.

    and now back to our Fisto thread, give em to the kids, and let them have a nut cracking contest and let them try to open them (without using teeth or the baby’s head, ouch) shoes, hammers, books, dolls,(just not porcelain) are allowed and may the best nutcracker win!!

    well about the nuts, i would throw them out. you would not use a hammer etc,as someone posted because it’ll cost you more $ to get to the emergency room where you will be with a broken thumb and fingers than it would cost you to buy some more decent nuts. as for our friends in the peanut comics, i think charle brown would for sure give up, before he even started. sally would pound them quite hard on charlie’s head to get them open. snoopy would be on his dog house waiting for his dinner. and shcroeder of course, would be at the piano. good luck with the nuts whatever you decide to do with them.

    The local home center (like Home Depot) sells pistachios and other snacks at a little stand/cafe inside the store. I just had to go out there after havdala and I overheard a lady tell her husband: “Ivan, look these pistachios are half-open and our kids will never eat them. Can you go to the hardware store and get some glue so I can stick them back together?”

    With a straight face, I recommended a certain glue (2 part epoxy for any do it yourselfers out there) to them and they thanked me!

    Get a nutcracker and make the effort to open the silly nuts. Pistachio nuts are absolutely yummy, very healthful, and make the best flavor ice cream around.

    My favorite flavor as well. In my chalav stam days, nothing beat a pistachio soft serve ice cream from Carvel. Just wanted to know why they put almonds in the ice cream though and never actual pistachio nuts in it. I think I figured it out. They got only pistachios that they couldn’t open.

    Ames, baklawa is good with walnuts but it’s even better with pistachios and that’s how I like to make it. Walnuts are cheaper, but pistachios are worth the price, I think.

    Thanks, I wasn’t sure if the salmonella issue was over or not…
