Sunflower Seeds

So the other day Erin and myself were walking all over Rexburg because it was warm outside. This brought great joy and happiness to our hearts. Jaclyn was enjoying herself in the stroller in front of us and the world itself seemed at peace. While on this joyful journey we stopped at the retail chain of Sam Walton and while there we purchased a bag of sunflower seeds because I wanted to learn how to eat them. In all of my years I have never had the patience to eat a sun flower seed properly in societies views. I usually just eat the entire seed; however, I have recently learned that there is a better way. The following is the proper way to eat sunflower seeds:

#1: Salivate on the seed for approximately one minute or until good and moist.
#2: Place the sunflower seed to the front of mouth balancing it between the front teeth.
#3: Bite down on the sides of the seed breaking the shell into two pieces.
#4: Remove the delicious innards and spit out the shells.

(Note: It is better to start with just one seed and then slowly work your way up to the preferred amount).

I know that if you follow my simple four step program you too will have a more enjoyable time eating sunflower seeds.

First of all, your eating sunflower seed steps is a bit disgusting. But I can testify that it works for you. You are awfully quiet when you eat sunflower seeds. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet.
