Fucking NUTS!


So, I wasn't feeling well last night and while tossing and turning and falling into fits of half sleep I was obsessed about nuts. Really. It started like i was about to be on a survivor-like game show, except it was real life, and this woman who looked like Jillian from the Biggest Loser was telling us that we were going to have to live on 2 oz of nuts a day. The catch? We had to decide which type of nuts we wanted and we had 24 hours to decide. Now as the dream progressed, I remember finding out that it would be for a period of THREE years! And each day, we'd only get the type of nuts chosen on the first day. And when I say we, it was me and a bunch of strangers who were wearing identical jumpsuits. So tossing and turning and going to the bathroom in real life, i'm obsessing about nuts. What about Macadamia nuts? I thought... they're high in fat and calories, oz per oz, despite their high moisture content, so that might be the one to go with. Then I thought, NO, oh god, there's hardly any carbohydrates in the macadamia, so what about when I need to treck across the jungle? (wtf?) So then I thought.. cashews or peanuts - wait, do peanuts count?? we all know the peanut is actually a legume.. brazil nuts? but would they count the shell in the 2 oz? They have a very hearty shell, after all... CHESTNUTS?? They contain a substantial amount of starch and sugar, providing a nice, long burn, for the treck across the jungle & all... but they spoil quickly, and again, the shell issue! holy shit. more tossing, more turning, COCONUT!! Do coconuts count? Would include the milk? How would they give me just two ounces without sacrificing the integrity of the nut? Pine nut? Walnuts? Pecans? OH GOD WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOOOO... toss toss, turn turn... will they be organic? Will they be hulled? ALmonds? toss , turn, toss, turn... HELLLLPP MEEE...

so anyway. long night. haha.. im still not sure what nut I'd go with.
