They are like roasted peanuts in the shell w/o the shell. They're cheap and better than your ordinary peanut.
I love potato salad. Righteous munchies.

I love macadamia nuts IN cold pasta salads. Spanish peanuts are good in brownies and the like.
Hazelnuts have a lot going for them too. I also enjoy a good walnut every now and then, and don't get me started on pecans.
Chestnuts are good around the holidays.
But my favorite is the cashew. I could eat a bushel.

My lunch yesterday was a handful of nuts.
and that is not supposed to sound as sexual as it looks on the screen. Oh well. I'm not going to edit it.
Apparently this thread was started by someone who hates me personally. Well, I guess I just don't give a crap who hates me.
But I *would* like to have a better lunch today. I'm thinking.... PB and Jelly?
On a related note, what nut is best in chocolate cookies? I think it's a toss up between pecans and macadamias. Testicles are ill-suited to most recipes.
Any more non-sequitors?

I don't think it was from someone who hates you personally. I think it was a post by someone who was trying (and succeeded) in posting a perfect example of irony.
I'd repost the parts that were the most ironic, but I don't think it's allowed.

Hey verne,
I've known you for a couple years and always found your posts interesting. I've seen your temper before having provoked you a time or two in the past. I, too, have been disappointed in myself for some of the time and energy I've wasted here, but that was my choice, no one forces me to visit PB. The hippo comment was really meanspirited. I'd like to think that that was just your temper getting the best of you again. People here can be forgiving. Toph

I was just wondering what you hate about me? I'm sure you can think of something. I don't want to be left out of your pool of hatred please.

Vern I like you. Do you hate me too? And my Son says the VA in Agusta Georgia is a really nice place. He was there for two months. Love Phillipa

>Spanish peanuts are a specific variety of peanuts, also called "redskins," some places. They're very good, little ground nuts. With a distinct sort of flavor -- I think you'd like them. In fact, I think EVERYONE would like them...
Maybe we should start stocking up for BabbleFest 2007?

>Peanut butter goes with NUTELLA! That is the appropriate pairing.
And pecans in the cookies, please. There's really not much to discuss on that one.
(Although I suppose it's not civil to suggest that there's only one path to Nirvana...)

Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. You've been asked to be civil before, so I am blocking you from posting. No one is blocked forever, btw, but I've asked Dr. Bob to determine the length.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civilFollow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin and should of course be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions. Thus, you can always appeal this decision to him, and he may choose a different action.

Hey Verne,
I don't hate you. I don't hate anyone here. You sound upset, I hope you are well. Your post didn't upset me one bit, surprisingly. I guess I'm just used to being called a troll now. I have enough self esteem now to know that I'm not a troll and that's all that matters.
If you don't like my posts, you can avoid reading them. I'll try to remember to warn people about my Bob posts in the subject line. I know some people don't like my posts. I can't please everyone.
Deneb*

Deneb that was really really good to hear.
Not just for this thread, but for everything.

Okay. peanut butter and nutella.
HOLD ON! [so excited!!-running to the kitchen!!]
[deflated]
oh. my roommate took her nutella with her when she moved out for the semester. darn.I'm eating a giant farmers market peach for breakfast then. It probably weighs a pound.
trivia fact- peaches are related to almonds. Some varieties still have some cyanide in their pits. mmm- bitter almond flavor

> trivia fact- peaches are related to almonds. Some varieties still have some cyanide in their pits. mmm- bitter almond flavorOne of my Hungarian recipes is for peach-champagne soup, which involves crushing the seeds. I've never had the courage to try it, though, because I'm afraid it's a way to poison people...
I make sour cherry soup, though, sometimes...

In reply to Re: the length, posted by Dr. Bob on September 4, 2006, at 5:26:35
Hmm nuts and length on the same thread.
This is getting spicy!
Racer, get the nutella handy, and where's some Spanish peanuts when you need 'em?
do the skins get stuck in your teeth? I have a terrible time with wheat germ, popcorn and such.
I'm so raunchy, except when I'm not.
I just invented a new cocktail
Red Kool-aid with a packet of Emergen-C powder.
It's fantastic. Let me know if you try it sometime. It tastes like candy, and has a little fizz and vitamin C and B vitamins and seven mineral ascorbates. Sounds like a good chaser to a lengthy nutella covered spanish peanut. (ugh. lurp. why did you write that filth?. damn)
