Ode to the pistachio



As we are trying to get settled in, we have discovered a new flavor combination that we really enjoy.  The French use the pistachio nut in a variety of ways. Food adornment ( sprinkled on chocolate covered strawberries, desserts, etc..), cakes ( I ordered this pistachio cake/tart from the local bakery...yummy), candy bars, gelato, ice cream, and these yummy ice cream bars Magnum Pistache . Smooth, velvetty chocolate with pistachio bits covering cold, creamy, pistachio ice cream.  What's not to love.  Even the kids ate them up. We have these magnum bars back in the state, but we only have a few flavors.  I'm hoping that in the three years were here, these delicious bars will have made their destined journey to the states! Who knew I would love pistachios so?
