Since I’ve been trying to maintain a healthy diet, I’ve gotten rid of the sugar filled snacks. And one of the snacks I’ve replaced them with is nuts, or is it “are nuts”. Whichever, yes, I’ve really grown nuts about nuts. They are very addictive, especially with all that salt on them. My favorite has been the Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds. We get a 2 lb jug of them at Costco (where else). While we were at Costco on Thursday, I decided to go wild and also bought a 2.5 lb jug of “Premium Fancy Nuts”. It’s a similar 2.5 lb jug of mixed nuts. I’ve decided my favorites are the pecans, even though I’m not usually a huge pecan fan. Jaxon’s favorites are the cashews. What I would like to know is who really likes the Filberts and giant Brazil Nuts? And why are they included in a mix labeled “Fancy”? Brazil Nuts are terrible, and they are so big, they take up the space of like 3 good nuts. That’s obviously why they put so many in there. They might as well just put the Styrofoam packing peanuts in there as space filler. According to nutologists, they have an “earthy” flavor. What that really means is that they taste like dirt. And not even good dirt. But more like dirt that those big baboons sit on at the zoo. And the filberts aren’t much better, but at least they don’t take up as much space. They are supposed to be the same as a Hazelnut. I guess that means now I know 3 nuts that I don’t like. I tried to eat some of them, so as not to be wasteful. But they are both so bad that I finally just started taking them out and throwing them away. Now I’m wondering if I should re-package them and try to sell them on Ebay. Surely somebody in the world likes these dirt flavored nuts, and would be excited to get a great deal on them. I mean, if somebody will buy my used underwear, then surely somebody will buy my “Brazil Nut & Filbert Fancy Nut Mix”.
