NUTS!

                        NUTS!

        October 22nd is National Nut Day. So

I'm pretty sure a lot of my friends out

there will be celebrating. I know a lot of

Nuts out there! Several are probably

reading this!

    Unless, of course, this is a day that refers

to the food we know as "nuts." I suppose

that's more likely.

     Nuts are said to be nutritious and healthy.

I probably don't eat as many as I should. But

I do buy Chocolate Almond ice cream. And,

of course, I do so for the health benefits!

      When we were in Hawaii a few years ago

I picked up some Macadamia Nuts. I bought

them because they were Spam flavored! Span

and nuts! How healthy can a guy get?

       I know I had some peanuts this year

too. Problem is....Peanuts are not nuts!

They are Legumes, a member of the "Pea"

family. You could have fooled me. I always

thought Mr. Peanut was a "Nut!"

       There are still plenty of nuts to choose

from so buy a bag or a can and enjoy this

special day even thought there is no

documentation to support the claim this

is a "'National" holiday.

       Hope it's not just a "shell game" and

that all your NEWS is good!
