For some reason, I thought I've seen unsalted at Trader Joe's. But I
mentioned rinsing off the salt because my that's what husband does
when he buy nuts that are too salty.


I'll try some if I ever get the chance. :)


That is a place I really want to see! I imagine it's absolutely
beautiful. Sand dunes in the Gobi desert were impressive because of
their height, but I can hardly wait to see the white dunes in New
Mexico.

Do I need to correct that? Perhaps I misread your post, thinking you meant
the pistachios were lunch, but rereading it sounds like it's something you
added to your regular lunch.

I decided to try this. I'm eating 6 pistachios a day. My next blood test
is in September. I will report the results.

It gets cold in NM... It had some of the coldest temperatures in the
US, this last Feb. Just because it is a lower latitude, doesn't mean
it is warmer. It is also a higher elevation: Santa Fe is over 7000
feet above sea level.
Your best bets are in spring or fall. Fall, you get the balloon
fiesta.

Fall it is then. :) Not sure which one at this point (we rarely plan
that far ahead), but I suspect this coming Fall.

You might have to plan far enough ahead. Hotel rooms sell out fast,
for balloon fiesta. Wait too long, and you won't find anything
available.

Summer is okay, but it gets pretty warm. Fall, also gets you the new
chile crop...especially Hatch chiles. Labor Day weekend is the Hatch
Chile Festival. Also in September is Fiesta de Santa Fe, which also
includes Zozobra.

And believe it or not, NM also is the oldest winemaking region in the
whole country.

I can assure you, I eat more than six pistachios at lunch. Most lunches are
leftovers from the previous night's dinner. I've never taken any
particular steps to lower my cholesterol as it has always been in "normal"
ranges, this just made it better. Real butter, eggs, and red meat are a
part of my diet all the time.

Good luck, I hope you get the same results I did. The lady I share the nuts
with has also had better results, but I don't know the numbers. At least it
is a pleasurable thing to do rather than cut out lots of good foods.

I remember reading that no point in New Mexico is under 5000 feet
elevation, which may mean it has the highest minimum elevation of
any U.S. state.

I've been munching on them for about 9 months now. Probably more than the
required 6 per day (*definitely* more!!), so hopefully this is working for me
too.

I've given this snippet of info to a friend of mine. Her rambunctious 3
year old son has decided that he likes eating a block of butter like
cheese!!

And I did a GIMF on cholestorol and pistachios and came up with this.....
it all looks good.

I live no where near a Trader Joe's. Last time I looked they weren't
anywhere in the entire state of Texas.

It is a truly beautiful place. The last time we were in that area there
was a lunar eclipse and we went out to White Sands to see it. Before it
went into eclipse, the moon was full. I can't describe the effect of
those white sands in the moon glow. "Otherworldly" or "pearlescent"
maycome close.

They had a bunch of amateur astronomers out there with telescopes set up
for people to look at the heavens. We could see the Milky Way with our
naked eyes.

Totally awesome experience.

There is a pretty neat space museum there, too.
