Nut Case

This morning I discovered I was completely out of those crunchy things which are found inside the seeds of trees. Plenty 'o' peanuts, but those are legumes and not in the same nutritional category. So I headed for Sunnymount Produce, which always has an impressive selection of nut-like objects in bulk, looking for cashews. almonds, walnuts and maybe pistachios.

They did have plenty. But the prices!  $10 a pound was the starting price. No wonder they have a huge stock - nobody would buy at those inflated prices.

So I nipped down the block to Safeway, and found cashews on sale 2 lbs for $8, walnuts at regular price $6/lb, almonds for $8/lb and pistachios were buy two 14-oz bags, get one free. So 28 oz for $10. Now I'm set for a couple of weeks.

My nuts cost me about $43.

You already said peanuts don't count. But (Almond) Joy might be an appropriate candy choice. But then you kinda like Mounds.

You're playing with my nuts again. But I'm not complaining.

I mean if _coconuts_ count, well, then, all bets are off between Mounds and Joy.

You see there is coconut milk, which completely confuses things, but then they make milk out of other nuts too, and it all gets all very mamally in a arborial kind of way. Which brings us to monkeys, and I'm sure you don't want to go there.
