He really, really likes nuts.
His diary for New York Mag starts out with this gem: "Once I started teaming Cheetos up with peanuts, I was really hitting them hard."
A wrap up (I guess they run this backwards):
May 3rd - No nuts for A.W.K. on that day. Just a smoothie and some Mexican.
May 2nd - "Around 3 p.m. I ate a whole bunch of nuts — three small, skinny bags of peanuts, cashews, and a bunch of pistachios. I had a bit of a feeding frenzy to be honest. It was a peanut lunch. My favorite brands are Cee Gee, Uncle Jesse’s, and Trophy. Uncle Jesse’s are the best."
May 1st - "I had some Honey Nut Cheerios with frozen blackberries (they were thawed), thawed strawberries, and fresh bananas and as many Planters dry-roasted nuts possible — till the bowl was overflowing and I couldn’t see the cereal. Planters add a lot of flavoring including MSG. I’ve eaten myself sick with certain MSG-peanut combos. My mom added peanuts to certain Asian meals she would cook. We would sometimes ask for extra peanuts, or even after the dinner was served, I’d get up and grab the jar of peanuts till it was almost mostly peanuts with a little added stir-fry. I like eating peanuts with utensils because it kind of makes a porridge."
April 30th - No nuts, just eggs and tuna.
April 29th - "I had a refrigerated Snickers bar — I would’ve preferred it be thawed more — and salted peanuts. You take a bite of peanuts and then a bite of the Snickers. Everything seems to be that much better with more peanuts, although I’ve never had peanuts in Mexican food. I also went to a Thai restaurant, Yum Yum on Ninth Avenue. There’s a million to choose from around there. I ordered a green curry with a side of crushed peanuts. It wasn’t enough so I ran to the deli and bought a couple bags of roasted peanuts and added them to the meal."
April 28th - Egg and cheese, salad, mac and cheese.
Man, Andrew W.K. is nuts!
