Boiled peanuts are fabulous! We buy the green peanuts in sleeves and boil them all day in the gumbo pot, then make ourselves sick eating way too many of them.
A friend of mine was stationed in Maryland in the 70s and we used to ship him cases of canned boiled peanuts periodically.
Braised groundnuts (aka, boiled peanuts) are a staple in China and Singapore. You can't have bak kut teh without them
I just had the usual roasted salted peanuts growing up, but once in Hawaii I discovered boiled peanuts were a favorite snack, and chopped peanuts were in a number of Asian dishes. I use them a lot now, boiled or roasted, but am also playing around with cashews and pistachios as well.
You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.
I don't think I've ever met a nut I didn't like, but boiled peanuts are pretty low on my list.
I just made up some trail mix today--peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cherries, and some pretzel mix. Yum!

I grew up in Tennessee, but I’ve only eaten three things on that list.
But my parents were from New Jersey, so...

A man was looking for a place to sit in a crowded university library.
He asked a girl: "Do you mind if I sit beside you?"
The girl replied, in a loud voice. "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE
NIGHT WITH YOU!"
All the people in the library started staring at the man, who was
deeply embarrassed and moved to another table.
After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the man's table
and said with a laugh: "I study psychology, and I know what a man is
thinking; I bet you felt embarrassed, right?"
The man responded in a loud voice: "$500 FOR ONE NIGHT? ..... I`M NOT
PAYING YOU THAT MUCH!"
All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.
The man whispered to her: "I study law, and I know how to screw people."
Hi, Fred, this is Richard, next door. I’ve have a confession to make. I’ve been riddled with guilt for a few months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you face-to-face. At least I’m telling you in this text and I can’t live with myself a minute longer without you knowing about this. The truth is that when you’re not around I’ve been sharing your wife, day and night. In fact, probably much more than you. I haven’t been getting it at home recently and I know that that’s no excuse. The temptation was just too great. I can’t live with the guilt and hope you’ll accept my sincere apology and forgive me. Please suggest a fee for usage and I’ll pay you. Regards, Richard
Neighbor’s response:
Fred, feeling so angered and betrayed, grabbed his gun and shot Richard, killing him. He went back home and poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. Fred then looked at his phone and discovered a second text message from Richard.
Second text message:
Hi, Fred. Richard here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I expect you figured it out and noticed that the damned Auto-Correct had changed “wi-fi” to “wife.” Technology, huh? It’ll be the death of us all. Regards, Rich
