  • Even as a young child I refused to eat sandwiches - I've never had one in my life.

    I'm not sure what it is about 'em, but the mere idea of eating one disgusts me.

    Made life in elementary school pretty obnoxious.
    • RE: Discussion a while back on health insurance

      Got my open enrollment flyer in the mail today. Seems like they don't want to hear people whine about thier premiums (that they see out of thier paycheck) going up...Listed the premiums AND the state's contribution, giving total costs. The cheapest plan for an individual is $309/mo ($19 employee $290 state), the most expensive for a family is $1019 ($232 employee, $787 state). Of course, these are the state's negotiated rates for thier group/risk pool. So, whe

    No. It's peanut butter, wipe the knife on the crust of the bread, and then honey.
  • if you can actually serve jelly with a knife, I have the utmost respect for you. In the same way other people express the utmost respect for me when I tell them I'm a math major.
  • How could YOU, of all people, be SO terribly wrong?

    Peanut butter on one slice (smooth, wheat bread)

    Clean knife by wiping on other slice
    Jelly on the other slice (preferably an all-fruit spread)
    Place together
    Cut into triangles.
    Quiz Kiddo on what shape they are.

    For an extra treat, you can pan-fry the bread beforehand.

    And you must have a tall glass of ice-cold milk to drink.

    Next time, get it straight! ;-)

    • J first!
      Easier to clean the knife!
      Shesh! Some people....
      • Oh, and I think kiddo would get freaked out if I showed up and asked her what shape my sandwich was.
      • J first!

        No! No! No! No!

        PB does not require refridgeration. In fact, when it is refridgerated, it is more difficult to spread.

        Jelly does need refridgeration.

        If some stray Jelly gets into the PB, it is going to grow mold and crap.

        If a little bit of stray PB gets into the Jelly, no big deal.

        Therefore, PB - wipe knife on other slice of bread - then Jelly.

        • No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

          One does NOT allow stray J to contaminate the PB. Well, one might, if one were an uncouth philistine. I am not.

          The J is easily wiped off the knife, unlike the PB.

          First J, then PB. Else Chaos(tm).

          • And you can wipe your knife so vigorously that it is 100% certain that not a single Jelly molecule will every reach the PB?

            I, however, rely on the the fact that time travel has yet to be invented to insure no contamination.

        • That depends on the type of peanut butter. If you buy the fresh ground kind then you should refrigerate it.
        • First of all, it is MUCH easier to wipe jelly from a knife than it is PB. That's the first reason that the jelly is done first.

          Second, at the end, the knife has to be licked clean for proper enjoyment. And it is much tasier to lick straight peanut butter than it is jelly - and you can get more Pb on the knife than you can jelly.

          Third, if you're not using natural PB, which requires refridgeration, then you're not using good enough PB. I didn't realize this until I first started using the natural stuff -

        • PB does not require refridgeration. In fact, when it is refridgerated, it is more difficult to spread.

          Depends on the peanut butter...the "all-natural" varieties that only contain peanuts and salt are supposed to be refrigerated after opening. (That makes it a bitch to stir before use, which is usually necessary because the oil separates out and sits on top.) The other varieties (Jif, Skippy, etc.) that are loaded up with emulsifiers, stabilizers, etc. don't need refrigeration.

    • Surely don't ALWAYS cut it into triangles? There must be an octagon or icosohedron in there somewhere. (BTW, if you can cut a PB&J sandwich into an icosohedron... that's talent.)
    • Peanut butter on one slice (smooth, wheat bread)
      Clean knife by wiping on other slice
      Jelly on the other slice (preferably an all-fruit spread)
      Place together

      Up to this point, I thoroughly agree.

      Cut into triangles.

      No! Rectangles. Cut it in half crosswise. 'Tis more pleasing to the eye and fits better in my Ziploc sandwich bag 'cos I can stack them.

      Change that, and you will have gained full qualification as PB&J-Preparer manga cum laude.

  • Okay, I need the record to reflect this.

    The *smell* of peanut butter triggers my gag reflex... that's how MUCH I FUCKING hate peanut butter.

    There is nothing worse than when my GF leaves a knife in the sink with peanut butter left on it!

    of course... if we were talking about cashew butter... now that's different :-)
    • Might want to have an allergy test done. I'm the same way (with the smell) and I found out the hard way that I'm severly alergic to peanuts and peanut derived foods.

    • if we were talking about cashew butter... now that's different :-)

      Never tried it... knowing how much fat is in those delicious cashews, I'd be afraid of that cashew butter would do to my arteries. I do need to just give it a try sometime, screw the health issues. :)
      • Fat from nuts is an entirely different thing than fat from meat.

        There are all sorts of things really good for you in nuts.

        Same thing with Salmon, even though it is a very fatty fish it is quite good for you and it is thought the fat will actually help keep your arteries clear.

        Besides occasionally eating something that's not 100% healthy isn't going to hurt you. It's doing it 3 meals a day, 365 days a year that gets you.
  • This is it: your last chance for salvation.

    Dip the grapes in the peanut butter. Eat them.

    Now!
  • Fluffer Nutter

    That was my nickname (Given to me by the Lunch Ladies) when I was in Grade school, oh so many years ago.
  • You create quite the love-hate feelings in me... You've got a cool nick here, since I'm a gamer through-and-through and love the game it's from. You also seem to be the only other person here who understands the proper method for making a PB&J sandwich (but please tell me you use natural PB, and it's chunky).

    But since you're quite conservative, and I'm liberal to the point of having socialist leanings in some ways (yes, I admit it, and I'm not ashamed), I have to hate you too... :)

    • I guess nobody can be ALL bad... :)

      But I try so hard!!!

      [Mode="pendantic"]That's libertarian (with conservative tendancies,true), not conservative. Big, huge, large difference. Conservatives are ALMOST as bad as Liberals in thinking that "there aught to be a law" - Just about different things.[/Mode] For an example of a (religious)Conservative, See Brent. OTOH, when I see leftist pinko slime {That's a joke, ma'am, laugh} taking cheap shots at conservatives or religious (and I am MOST definitely not that)-ie
