P.S. Can someone tell me how to go about eating pistachios? Always in a rock hard shell and lots of work for little reward. After a number of tries from 7/11 they are bow banned. I know the Yanks love them. Shell them by the half dozen or so, put them in and chew slowly to savour. That's how I do it. Got some at Doi Inthanon this time last year, direct from the farm I believe. Lum dii maak, pang duay; cheers bear. |

The ones I buy, usually at MaeSai or DoiMaeSalong are 95% open like a little clam shell. Easily pulled apart. All those still closed I leave till last and bring out the nut crackers.  I buy Macadamias up at Doi Chang as well, now they take a bit of cracking. |

I'm sure there's someone you know who could knock one of these up; or something similar. There'd have to be odds & ends laying about surely. No to be this flash!! Cheers bear  Though if you want to be flash, and money's no object:- s.lazada.co.th/s.flsstBut if money's to tight to mention and you've got time on your side:- a.aliexpress.com/_mK6DY66 |

When money’s tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt –
A pint of plain is your only man.

Sipping Leo, I want to eat a handful like peanuts. tiny little thing after 5 minutes to get it. No thanks. So as expected; it can't be done. Peanuts rule. And not the boiled ones still in the shell that may taste good but again bloody hard work when 7 has bags of them shelled.

Me; I do, and will put in the effort in order to eat them occasionally so I don't get too comfortable with the instant gratification that 7/11's provide. Instant gratification, from the now now now, me me me generation is a major problem in today's world; however the patience to forage for handfuls of pistachios reminds me of one of the reasons why life is worth living.

I'll bring you some if I can ever link a nut buying trip to the mountains with a run down to CM.

OK, A wise man can give me another lesson next time at the condo. Still not convinced though. I can't even open one of them. Maybe my nut skills are even worse than my net ones. I may be up to Rai soon also. But?

Same here Banjo I use Lazda quite a bit I also find them very reliable and the products are generally good quality for the price no complaints here  . Is it possible to access Lazada from Australia or would the shipping be too prohibitive? Cheers Itsa |

I'm not really sure Itsa, Lazada is a company that sources products from other retailers so it would depend on what you wanted.
I'd check with Australian online sales first to make sure they were not available locally.
Go to Lazada and do a dummy sale to see if they accept it then cancel when the delivery cost comes up.
