39. Difficult choice!

Sat Dec 26, 2020, 12:50 AM

Dec 2020

I love nuts! (Kindly do not read more into that statement than is indicated by this poll.)

An argument can be made that almonds, pistachios, and cashews are also not nuts.

I was torn between cashews and pistachios, but in the end had to go for pistachios. Because, um, well... YUM!

LOL, I KNEW that and still wrote that! MuseRider Dec 2020 #29
