Just a quicki for you snackers,

[monky]

I've finished an experiment --

Pistachios-- i have ate a 230gm bag of pistachios, and saved all the shells, weighed them, and !!!! they weighed 120gm.

which means, that i only ate 110gms of actual nuts

Roasted Peanuts in shells---- i have ate a 400gm bag , and again i have saved the shells, which added upto 175gm !!

So you see that snackin on nuts, isnt so bad after allllllll

Soooo, on the pistachios you ate about 640grams and probably a similar amount on the monkey nuts.

Now did you eat them all in one sitting or did you eat them at the rate of about 1 or 2 handfuls at a time?

Apart from all that, a great experiment and like I always say - everything in moderation.

how about this I got a packet of nuts and raisins, just looked now and hubby eating all the nuts and left me the raisins. Prefer the nuts . gonna hide them next time.

Best not to bother getting the mixed nuts and raisins next time - if no-one's keen on the raisins it's not really cheaper in the long run. (If some-one wants raisins, why don't you just get them out of your baking cupboard?)

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to andi22]

I would have done , but he got them not me. Anyway when I said I dont like loads of raisins , he replied " I know but I like them" I give up . Men!
