			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_142" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 137px"><a href="http://www.veritablevirago.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/images22.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-142" title="Mike Rowe" src="http://www.veritablevirago.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/images22.jpeg" alt="found here" width="127" height="95" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">found here</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that I heart <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/dirtyjobs/bio/bio.html">Mike Rowe</a>.  There&#8217;s just something about a manly man who can sing opera and who is intelligent.</p>
<p>But I digress.  Last night LB and I were watch Mike Rowe in the Goose Down Plucker episode.  (Seriously maybe the funniest episode ever.  It should be on a t-shirt.)  During this episode he also helped out on a walnut farm?  Orchard?  So LB suddenly announces that he wants some nuts after watching Mike Rowe pop another walnut in his mouth.  I told him I had walnuts (crinkles his nose) and almonds (crinkles his nose and curls his lip). I offer pumpkin or sunflower seeds, but warn him they are not salted and natural.  With a sigh he gives into the offer of walnuts with disdain and a plaintive wish for peanuts.  I sputter about how <a title="The Healthy Foodie" href="http://blogs.lifestyle.aol.ca/2008/05/13/the-problem-with-peanuts/">peanuts aren&#8217;t good for you</a>.  Walnuts and Almonds are so much better for you.  Especially unroasted and unsalted.  (As the ones I have.  Obviously.)</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s how the dispute started.</p>
<p>Enter Google.  (Oh greatest wonder of the world.  How my life would shrivel without you.  Or at least I would look much, much stupider.)</p>
<p>&#8230;and lo and behold this <a title="www.sixwise.com" href="http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/05/06/29/if_you_are_nuts_about_health_try_the_top_6_healthiest_nuts.htm">site</a> proclaims me the &#8220;winner&#8221;!  (Which, as anyone in a relatioship knows, makes any seemingly pointless point valuable.)</p>
<p>So just in case you are curious&#8230;the top 6 healthiest nuts are:</p>
<p>1. Walnuts</p>
<p>2. Almonds</p>
<p>(Like I cared beyond this point.)</p>
<p>3. Cashews</p>
<p>4. Pecans</p>
<p>5. Brazil Nuts</p>
<p>6. Macadamia Nuts</p>
<p>LB ignored my jubilation and instead tried to side track my joy with the ominous reminder that they are to be eaten in moderation.</p>
<p>I think he&#8217;s just jelous that I know my nuts.</p>
