Date When Celebrated : Always February 26
National Pistachio Day is a nutty day. You can celebrate National Pistachio Day by eating them, and learning more about them. We're going to help with the learning part........ read on.
Nutty Pistachio Facts:
  • Pistachios grow on trees. They are native to the Middle East.
  • Its a long wait to get the first nut. A pistachio tree takes 7-10 years to mature.
  • California is the major producer in the U.S.
  • Pistachios are harvested in September by machines that shake the trees. It less than a minute.
  • The red dye is added to the nuts is only due to consumer demand for the color.
  • Its open hull is unique. The nut is ripe when the hull splits open.
  •  People in the Middle East call it the "smiling nut" and in China its called the "happy nut".
  • Pistachios are nutritious, so eat them up!
Celebrate today by eating Pistachios. They are great plain as a snack, in ice cream, and in a wide range of desserts.
Origin of National Pistachio Day:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. We actually had the opportunity to research this day, along with a national pistachio organization. The group approached us because they didn't understand why this day could be in February. They wanted to move this day, or create a new one to celebrate the September harvest of the pistachio crop. They also wanted to make the new day a national one. Making it a true "National"  day proved to be too long of a process and time consuming. They felt that congress had more important things to do.

Book Review: Stolen by a Billionaire by Miss J

I recently read  Stolen By The Billionaire  by Miss J, and let me tell you, girl, it gave everything it was supposed to be given. I was engaged from the beginning. I found this book while scrolling thru TikTok and avoiding doing something productive like usual. I wanted to either smack the husband Oscar style or shoot him in the face from the beginning. Either would have worked for me at this point. Most times in a book, you want to find some kind of redeeming qualities about someone there were none, and I mean none. Even his friends were the only ones who didn't like him. I'm only on book one. I can't wait to see how he dies and trust me, y'all, this man needs to die. I have already woken my husband up out of a dead sleep, telling him how this man is trash and needs to die! Yall need to read this book, so we can talk about it!  Feel Free to comment and share with your friends! Feel Free to follow me @ Eliceivywrites.wordpress.com.
