The Great Peanut Butter Post!

[trista]

Lunch today was two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and they were glorious. Skippy As Crunchtabulous As We Can Make It peanut butter on both, with blackcurrant jam on one and boysenberry on the other. The jam or jelly or preserves or whatever, except marmalade because blech, can be just about any flavor and I'm okay with that. I particularly

Mmmm. That sounds wonderful! I like peanut butter on toasted bagels, too. And it is fantabulous on English muffins. There's something about toast, though. I lurve toast.

*shriek*

You rock. :)

Most people stare blankly at me when I say this, but I also love beans on toast. As in pork and. I think maybe it's an English thing? My family eats it, and last year I met a guy who was here on vacation from England and we had lovely talks about the glory of beans on toast. Anyway, it's yet another way in which toast is toastacular.

Crunchy peanut butter and marshmellow fluff

Gotta love Fluffernutters.....

[trista]

I've never tried that. How have I never tried that?!

[trista]

*snerk*

It isn't, though. It is lovely.

yum.

I totally love peanut butter on hot toast, too. It gets sooo melty and good.

I can't pick my favorite sandwich style, though. I love peanut butter and jelly too much.

I pretty much always eat smooth peanut butter, but I do like crunchy, too. I eat that 'natural peanut butter' which is just peanuts and peanut oil and it is extra peanutty.

I think dark jellies look nicest with peanut butter, but I do like apple jelly a lot.

Have you ever had cherry jelly?

Re: yum.

My dad eats natural peanut butter, too. The stuff that they grind at the health food store while you stand there. Or maybe he gets to do that himself, like the DIY coffee stuff in some grocery stores? Anyway, it's nothing but peanuts and a peanut oil, and it tastes wonderful. The only problem with it is that it separates and you have to stir like hell to mix the oil back in before you use it, but I'm okay with that.

I don't think I've tried cherry jelly. That sounds really good!

Re: yum.

[rebecoming]

Yeah, you do have to stir it. Some of them are more...grainy? then others. The one I get now is from our great grocery store and it's very smooth. It's just good. I mean, I enjoy the Skippy-style stuff, too, but I've come to really like the natural stuff.

You should try cherry. It's a little tart, which I think is good with the p-nut-butt.

I now want to go eat lots of peanut butter.

Also, I totally agree with you about not leaving margins! AND I think the sandwich must have TONS of peanut butter. You have to COMMIT!

fatal error!

I hope you're not mad at me for writing "then" instead of "than." ;)

Buttered Wonder Bread toast, Peter Pan Honey Roasted creamy peanut butter, marionberry jam, and a frosty cold Sprecher's Root Beer Soda.
Ether that, or peanut butter and hot fudge. It's amazing the things that go really well with peanut butter when you're extremely poor.

No kidding. Like a spoon, for example. Of course, that's more my lazy peanut butter accompaniment than my poor peanut butter accompaniaent, but still.

I've never tried peaunut butter and hot fudge. Makes sense that it would be wonderful, though. Sort of like a peanut butter cup sammich.

Also, what is a marionberry?

[anonymosaurus]

The Marionberry is Marion style blackberry. it is NOT a regular blackberry, which I despise. It is the best berry of any type ever invented by the hand of Gawd.
They grew wild all over our ranch when I was growing up...they are sweet, juicy, dark purple, and oh so delicious. There is no finer berry.

[trista]

I wonder if I'd know the difference? I'll have to see what the farmers' market has.

My grandparents in Florida had blackberries. I remember the first time I noticed blackberries in the grocery store. I was horrified! Good lord, those things are expensive. If you want blackberries you go outside to the prickliest bushes in the universe, which grow along the fence, and you pick them. You don't buy them. And then I realized that blackberry bushes do not come standard on all American homes.

Take some Great Harvest cranberry bread. Then give a liberal dose of the PB Loco Peanutbutter Cafe Two Chocolate peanut butter blend. Add a few banana slices, and maybe a little honey. Chase with cold milk.

[trista]

Oh, the milk! Milk is important. Yum.

I haven't tried the PB Loco thingy yet. There's one in the Mall of America, and every time I walk past it I remind myself that i want to go in but always forget.
