A new must: pistachios!!!

A friend in my class tonight had a big bag of pistachios with him and offered them around to others. I haven't had pistachios in years, and I forgot two things: 1. They're delicious. 2. They're addictive. I plan on buying a big bag of pistachios to keep myself awake during long classes, and to give my fingers something to do at home when I get one of those nicotine cravings.

Plus, they're good for you. From http://www.askmen.com/sports/foodcourt_100/100b_eating_well.html:
