It’s National Nut Day, Three Forbidden Treats That Taunt My Allergy

What a cruel, cruel day for those of us that are not allowed to partake in National Nut Day. I have listed my favorite forbidden kernel desires below in an effort to celebrate without actually enjoying anything. Woo. Hoo. 

Oh man. To eat enough pistachios in one sitting to outdo even Lieutenant Frank Drebin's performance here in 'The Naked Gun'. That would be glorious.

This is a big temptation, probably because it is the dessert that made me discover my allergy. Two Thankgivings in a row I spent the weekend sleeping 60 straight hours with a sore throat because of the sweet anaphylaxis that this baby provided.  I'd skip Christmas AND New Years if I could knock down a piece without it knocking me out.

Nothing against Mounds, but groing up as a kid that was barraged by the commercial above. A life without Almond Joy just seems like a life half lived.

Enjoy National Nut Day you non-allergic folks, I hope you realize how good you really have it!
