Eating healthy for peanuts?
Blog Guy, so we’ve established that you lost some weight recently. I found your health tips helpful, but could you be more specific about what you ate?
Sure. I ate everything with a pulse.
So you went on an all-meat diet?
No, no, I mean pulse as in the edible seeds of certain legumes. Peas, beans, lentils, peanuts. VERY healthful stuff.
Oh right. I saw that movie “Lentil,” with Barbra Streisand.
That was YENTL. Try to focus here. Look, I’m talking about a legume.
Like when you dig up a dead body?
No. You EXHUME a body that has no pulse.
Pulse? The edible seeds of certain legumes?
Sigh. Let me make this simple. You should just use healthful ingredients. For instance, this author on the left has done a new cookbook called “Peas and Thank You.”
So there is a connection between healthy eating and puns?
There may be. The point is, you should use good stuff, like bulgur wheat…
Yes! I read about that Whitey Bulger guy!
Look, I’m getting nowhere here. You seem like the dimwitted neighbor in a bad sitcom.
