NOOOOOOO! I am sorry, but you are absolutely not allowed to recall pistachios the week of general conference! Do you know how much of an impact this has on my life? Oh sure I have been going along with all these food recalls just fine. Spinach? Whatever. Tomatoes? Meh. OK. Peanuts and Peanut Butter? Well, not my brand. Pistachios? Well, OK, since I only really eat them 2 weekends out of the year... Errr. Wait a second.
Do you think we could postpone conference until the pistachio recall is over? Someone call Salt Lake. Surely there must be more out there that enjoy those little green morsels of love during the afternoon session. Or postpone the recall until conference is over. Call the FDA.
Somehow I don't think either of those things will work. Oh well, I guess I will have to risk the salmonella. It's either that or fall asleep for the entire afternoon session.
Yeah, I know I could switch to cashews or peanut M&Ms. But cashews are more expensive and I do peanut M&Ms for the morning sessions. If only they had Cashew M&Ms. Oh man wouldn't that be a dream!
Come on fellow conference lovers. Help me out here. What are my alternatives? What keeps you awake for that killer 20 minutes in the afternoon session where some unknown Seventy is speaking and you have been sitting in front of a tv for 3 hours and your eyes are starting to droop and their words start to run together and before you know it there is drool on your notebook/needlework. I know you all do it.
Love you guys

Who needs pistachios when you've got Brody running around? Pretty much guarantees no sleeping. You can borrow him if you want...
does the recall affect pudding? I will be so sad....
Heh...I just succumb to the drooping eyelids. It'll still be on the TiVo later and online and in next month's Ensign. Afternoon sessions are just murder!
Aaron and I ate a bunch of pistachios last Wednesday at pack meeting that are on the recall list, and we're fine. They were the Kraft Back to Nature ones. So, maybe they're safe...
Wait...there's been a recall? I just had a bowl full of them the other day. Well, you can come with me and grab some Cafe Rio before the second session on Saturday. But I don't know what to do for Sunday.
Aha! I have it! Spring...colored...Oreos.
oooo I like the spring oreo idea! How about melting some good chocolate, pour a bag of cashews in the bowl and mix ... spread it around on a pan lined with parchment paper ... let them cool ... eat!
Is that just way too much work???
Okay ... pplain M&M's for morning Peanut M&Ms for afternoons.
Diet Coke, my friend. And plenty of it. And for the record, Russ and I are going to enjoy the can of pistachios I bought right before this silly recall thing because there's something to be said for living dangerously. And can you really die from things you eat WHILE WATCHING CONFERENCE?? If so you can eat pistachios in the celestial kingdom. Because they will be there for sure, as well as cashew m&m's.
