Review: All I needed were a few peanuts for some pasta I was going to make. A little pasta, a little vodka sauce, some chili powder, Old Bay seasoning and a few peanuts for added protein and crunch. However, Jewel was offering these generic store-brand peanuts for two for the price of one, so I have peanuts for my pasta and peanuts for snacking. I am a firm advocate of keeping your diet stocked with different nuts and seeds, but I am not under the illusion that these specific peanuts are healthy in the least. With each bite, you can taste the oil and salt seeping into your veins and clogging them. I dropped a few of these peanuts into my bowl of ice cream this evening, and it immediately transformed my sweet oatmeal cookie cream into something resembling potato-chip flavored ice cream. A great snack to go along with a beer at the end of the night or to use in a stir fry. However, if the recipe calls for salt, you may want to hold back and just let these nuts do the trick. Come to think of it, you may even be able to hold off on the cooking oil a bit when using these slippery things.
