The last couple of days I've discovered pistachios again . I find it amazing that somehow in this mixed up world, I forgot all about them.
Sonja introduced them to me in Paris, while we waited outside the Moulin Rouge in the rain. She was my first and only tour leader crush - a truly amazing woman.
I love how you get to pry open those sturdy shells, especially those buggers that resist. You find the small crack with your tongue and align your tooth just so. The shell parts under the resolve and voila! … well it's on to the next shell actually.
I always appreciate the things I have to work harder to get. There is no better feeling in the world than knowing you deserve what you have sitting right in front of you.
The trick, I guess, is knowing how hard you have to work for the next great thing in your life.

just sometimes though it'd be nice to get something good without having to work quite sooo hard...
I think you're ready to move on to walnuts.

Maybe after you move on to actually commenting ON YOUR OWN BLOG comments !!!

Scrap! My money is on ... ...bugger nobody - a draw.
I never realised that people open the shell in their mouths. I've always just used my fingers or a knife for the bloody mainly closed ones.
My etiquette was always a bit off Cian :)
Hehe, I agree with Cian - never knew that either. I would probably just end up hurting my tongue. I do that a lot.
Gotta love those pistachios though. Gah, now you made me want some.
Sorry Kris :)
