Elle's Kitchen: Food Find

 

Isn't it great when you come across a favorite

food item that has been made even better?

Recently Mr. Wonderful was going to the

grocery store, I noticed in the weekly ad that

pistachios were on sale, so I told him to pick

some up.  Now, I must let it be known that I

love pistachios, they are delicious, pistachio

is even my favorite flavor of ice cream though

sadly, I can rarely find it in the Midwest.

So, Wonderful comes home with the pistachios

and says, "oh no, I didn't realize they were Sweet

Chili flavored!"  I thought, "Oh no?  What could

be wrong with that?" Oh no ~ oh heavens, they

are fabulous!  If you can find them give them

a try.

 

 

For those who may not be as practiced in the art

of pistachio eating as I am, here is a little tip to

get them open without breaking your nails ~ or

worse.  Let's face it, how many times have you

heard the words pistachio and chipped tooth in

the same sentence?  NEVER open a pistachio with

your teeth, the pistachio will eventually win.

Instead, hold the whole pistachio with 2 fingers

and with the other hand use an already broken half

shell and pry the shell open as shown (I was taking

the photo, so sorry for the one handed demonstration).

It is simple, it works well and it will save you lots of

money on dental bills so... you can buy more pistachios!

 

Enjoy!
