Today I was on a mission to find something salty and satisfying. You would think since these past few days I’ve been craving fried and salty foods it would be that time of the month type of deal – not really, considering that is part of my past for right now.
So here I am searching everywhere around me at work for something to please my taste buds....oatmeal…..cranberries….left over’s from last night’s dinner (not really what I had in mind). Finally, I see the beautiful black bag of pistachios hiding in the corner and it says “Roasted & Salted” SCORE!! Ingredients: pistachios and salt…I can deal with that. Now if anyone knows where I can find pistachios with SEASALT instead please let me know.
*Cracking a pistachio open*
Some old man peeping through my cubicle door, “Can I have some?” Oh man, what I really want to say is these are mine and no you can’t have SOME. Growling inside I jokingly reply, “And how many is some?” The old man says, “You know, just a few.” You’ve got to be kidding me. I hand him the bag and say, “Take what you want” with a big smile on my face. Now this phrase almost never fails, inside you’re saying you better not take that many and if you do I’m going to jump up into my warrior pose. It worked and he only took two.
*Cracking open another pistachio*
He sits down in my cubicle and starts talking about how good pistachios are for you, how they are cholesterol free, they may reduce the risk of heart disease….yadda yadda…lol “I know, see look at the back of the package” trying to give him a hint to go away, but deep down I know his intent is to get more pistachios from me…typical male I tell ya! So I start telling him how I’m a vegan and how I get a good amount of protein from eating these savory pistachios and how much my DS loves to snack on them, but really, “would you like anymore?” “Oh no darlin save them for your baby.” I win! Don’t mess with a lady and her pistachios!
