Oh my.

So.....I get into the boat and row over to Skins's island this morning, finding the primitives still raging and ranting over Bill, as if it's the most important issue in the world, and so bored with that, I present this instead.

I hope Skins's island gets back to normal today.

What do you eat with your peanut butter?

I had a lively discussion recently with my co-workers about peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. This was a staple of my childhood, made with bread and butter pickles. One of my co-workers was disgusted but another piped in saying he, too, had grown up eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, except his family made them with dill pickles! (Sounds revolting to me.)
 
Then last night I was reading this cheesy mystery novel from the 1950s where the two lead characters stop into a diner and have peanut butter and bacon sandwiches! (I'm oddly repulsed and attracted by this culinary idea.)
 
Other peanut butter sandwiches I've encountered over the years include peanut butter and fluff (of course), peanut butter and bananas, peanut butter and potato chips, and of course the ol' PB&J with every and any kind of jelly ever made.
 
I really thought I'd heard it all, but learning of two new PB&___ sandwiches in the last two weeks - at age 50! - I'm wondering if anyone else eats/has heard of any PB&____ that's off the beaten path.

Big campfire, so only the PoP (primitives of prominence; the primitives who count) are quoted here.

12. PB and bacon!!! I've never tried it, but now I'll have to.

My favorite is PB and orange marmalade on whole wheat,cut into strips and dunked in a glass of ice cold milk. Wonderful stuff!

21. I liked peanut butter and potato chips when I was a kid

Today I dunked wheat free animal cookies into peanut butter for lunch. Don't judge me, I need to go to the store and just didn't have the spoons.

38. I just had a pb&j tortilla wrap.

I put some locally made peanut butter on the tortilla and heated it up in the microwave for a few seconds. Then I slathered it with some local strawberry jam.
 
Yum.

I also like pb & bananas. And as a kid, a fluffernutter sandwich was one of my favorite things - crusts absolutely removed.
 
I'm going to try the bacon at my next opportunity. I love pancakes with peanut butter, bacon and maple syrup, so I am certain I will like this.

44. My parents were also of the "eat everything on your plate" generation.

As a result, I took exactly the opposite tack with my kids. They could eat what I served or not, but they weren't getting anything else.
 
Hunger is a great motivator, lol.

39. Peanut butter, Applesauce and Honey

On slightly warmed Raisin Bread. I'm also fond of Peanut Butter and Bacon on raisin bread.....Yummers.

If one's into it, one should go to the link above, to read all the primitive suggestions.

   Why is it even necessary to say that?  Who gives a shit? 

No thanks to all of their suggestions.

Well, remember, they're pretentious.

So sad that for some reason children are becoming allergic to Peanut butter.   I wonder as it has only been in the last few years I ever heard about this problem.

Is it possible it is not the peanuts themselves that cause the allergies but the chemicals used to preserve the peanuts and peanut butter that is the problem ?

Something is very wrong here when for 150 years or more people ate peanut butter and suddenly humans become allergic to the food.

Was it George Washing Carver that became the man to change American foods for the better ?

Peanuts a crop brought from Africa to help feed a nation.

My grandmothers recipe brought back from Boston as a tea time eat in 1914 or so.

Slice dried figs add peanut butter and roll in confectioners sugar.

Locally made means "in the old world" tradition.
They're thrown in a vat, and the peasants stomp on them.

Oh boy, a new employment opportunity for the fizzgig primitive.

Not a chance.

She'd have to wash her feet first.

But Chris_, that's the idea of locally made.  It's free of nasty preservatives and is all natural.
Besides, it would add an interesting wang to it.

She lives on a boat, with her eccentric English husband.

Usually they're tied up somewhere on the California coast.

But right now, they're making their way down the western coast Mexico, hoping to go through the Panama Canal into the Caribbean Sea, thence up to New Orleans.

<<<by the way, predicted this trip two, three, years ago.  They're on their way to visit franksolich.

It's been so long I forgot the details.

The cbayer primitive's eccentric English husband wanted to find the thought-extinct Passenger Pigeon.

They went from southern California down along the coast to the Panama Canal, thence up to New Orleans, and then up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, then turned left on the Missouri River, and finally near Omaha turned left again onto the Elkhorn River, docking here.

<<<predicted it.

Which of course raises the question as to what kind of "local" peanut butter or strawberry jam it could have had not to mention a microwave.

The cbayer primitive, who lost the modesty typical of preacher's kids, wants everybody to know she and her eccentric English husband are traveling to exotic places; she likes to boast about things like that.

[Skul]

They can stop at several Mexican ports to pick up some local peanut butter.

The thought of chunky Jalapeno peanut butter just popped up.

No doubt nads can tell them all the best places to get local Mexican peanut butter, and spread it on their fresh tortillas with a machete.

BTW, DUmmies--make sure you take a picture of it and post it.  Be sure you use the "good rig" when you do.

     Shit is locally produced, so DUmmies should feel socially responsible as they eat some.

Where does cbayer do her shopping?  At the marina?

[franksolich]

No.

Remember, her eccentric English husband wants to reduce their carbon footprint by living simply.

When docked, they rent expensive luxury motor vehicles and drive into town, where they shop at both grocery stores and 'farmers'" markets.
