I am officially intimidated by you.

BBM: trust me – it’s not you, it’s me. i’ve been trying to fix the “remember me” on my comments for years. people have mostly given up on me in that regard…
sizzle: thanks! and see, you’ve also helped change my attitude about CA.
hilly: it’s really true – you are lovable creatures!
shari: what i like about pistachios in the shell is that they slow me down. if i bought the shelled ones, i’d shove handful after handful in my mouth. plus, it must burn a couple calories opening them, right?
jennafura: ah, but if you’re a native midwesterner, you’ll never be a californian. the midwest gets imprinted in your DNA – ask anyone who has tried to leave!
dave2: but it’s a classy “woo woo woo!” right? you know, to go with the golf clap.
pants: i’ve only been to utah once, and i could hate on them for making me slam my drink before they can legally set down the next one. what’s up with that?
karl: you led the way and made it possible for people like me to one day win such an award!
beth: you know, i had that exact thought!
kat: sadly, not italian, but still – A MAJOR AWARD!
elise: i suppose there is that possibility – but then why doesn’t california just stop sending them to me?
avitable: i have no grudge against moustachios. or pimentos.
delmer: oh, don’t get me started on the california raisins. i had a whole bunch of them with stems still attached. STEMS! california really might be trying to kill me.
valerie: oh… hollow is even worse than clamped shut, because with hollow you know that someone, somewhere got your nut. at least i still have the possibility of a nut.
churlita: you should see my fingernails – i feel like a POW.
claire: thanks, claire! i think this could be the beginning of my rise to fame and fortune. i won’t forget all of you.
robin: thanks! if you can make it to davecago in august, we’ll have to watch out for the paparazzi who will inevitably be following me.
jewelz916: thanks so much! and i’m not yet prepared to give them up, but i might pre-sort them before i start eating so that i can discard all the closed ones up front. i need an intern.
srah: no way – a staple remover? i may just need to try that!
kim: is that true? now i really want to open one to find out! where’s my staple remover?
vahid: FTW! pistachios for everyone!
serap: it’s true – june really is the best month. and it’s mine, all mine!

Congratulations on your award! June is a lovely month of the year to have to yourself… I don’t think I would pick any other.

OMG! You’re funny. LOL Ever heard of a nutcracker? Don’t bother. The closed pistachios have absolutely NO FLAVOR.

I have found that my staple remover at work does great double-duty as a tough-pistachio-opener. You do have to have a crack of some sort in order to pry it open with the staple remover, but even a small crack will do.

Congratulations on your award!!!! I ‘heart’ reading your blog….no one is more deserving (except me, perhaps…but I’m a newbie, so I’ll have to wait to earn my stripes)!
As far as the pistachios…that happens to me ALL the damn time. I’ve officially given them up due to high frustration levels.

Very much deserved! Congrats!

“I don’t hate Californians, I hate pistachios. I mean I love pistachios, but I hate what they stand for.”
Excellent! Congrats on the award, clearly deserved!

Good for you. If I had to rock any month, it would probably be June.
And pistachios? Don’t get me started on the ones that won’t open. I have ripped the skin off my fingers trying to get those out.
