I have been eating PB & Js all my life (hundreds). I just found out who was responsible for such an easy, cheap, and tasty meal! Around the 1890s a Doctor from St. Louis decided to develop a health food that provided protein for his adult patients. He mashed some peanuts in a meat grinder to make a paste. His friend then mechanized the system and WALA! Peanut butter was developed. Peanut Butter has evolved into PB w/peanuts (go figure!) PB w/o peanuts (how do they do that!), PB with jelly mixed in, etc. My preference is to eat PB on crackers, wafers, banana sandwiches, in fudge, in milkshakes, by itself, etc. PB & J is equivalent to a three-course meal (so I have been told). So how do you like your PB & J?
Oh Yeah! Can someone tell me why there are two font colors?

Hi there - I stopped over from Mels world and enjoyed my visit on your back porch! I have never liked peanut better and jelly but I may be tempted to try one again, after that post!
I may stay on your porch for awhile - it is really windy, cold and snowing on mine!
One is the color of Peanut Butter (the light brown) and the other is the color of your Strawberry Jelly (red)...am I right????
I like my PB&J with Peter Pan Whipped Creamy and Grape Jelly with Honey Wheat Bread...yummy!
But I make them by having Peanut Butter on one slice and Jelly on the other slice...not on the SAME slice...that is just weird!
Hi ... I stopped by from Mel's ...
When I was a kid, I didn't like PBJ ... go figure ! I didn't like the PB because it stuck to the roof of my mouth ! SO ... my Mom used to mix the PB and (grape ! had to be grape !! ) J together in a bowl and then she'd spread it onto saltine crackers and make me a saltine cracker PBJ !!! A little twist ... a very yummy twist !
I didn't like PB&J as a kid either. But learned to like them in college :) Have you been to one of the PB&J restaurants? So many options.
