My daughter gets VERY upset when I contaminate the jelly with peanut butter. I will not be sharing this article with her, she doesn't need any more justification for berating me.
One other thought - if you must pack PB&J for a later meal, put peanut butter on both slices of bread, it will prevent the jelly from seeping though.
Charlotte it’s so great to see your hilarious comedic side! We’re all so fully of anxiety and dread with the state of our Democracy this was truly appreciated! #KeepGoing!
This is amazing. I thought I was the only one who had non negotiable rules about PB& J. My sister and I have had full blown arguments about strawberry vs grape jelly. (I’m team strawberry). I will say my mom used to pack me PB&J on Friday and it would get squished in my book bag so I had a sick pleasure for smooshed sandwiches but I get that this is based on childhood nonsense! Bravo!!
Ok, if you buy natural peanut butter, turn it over on its lid overnight, then put it in the fridge for the day, right side up, and you will not need to mix it, even if you return it to the pantry.
I, whole-heartedly agree with you, however, on my less than stable days, I may have ventured into the apricot and even, dare I admit…peach preserves. And, I’m sorry but in the absence of any necessary supplies, the uncrustable is an acceptable (life saving) alternative. Just sayin’ 😘
One day with the kids, I guess I revealed the scars of growing up the fifth of six kids, meaning there were a lot of people but there wasn't much money.
My son was piling in the peanut better and I yelled something like, "Why are you using so much? We don't own stock in the peanut butter factory."
My wife defended him.
Then my son looked at me and said, "Dad, you were poor!"
We all laughed.
Oh, everyone I know makes fun of me, but a PB&J must be dipped into homemade beef vegetable soup.
It was my after-school snack and now my adult lunch.

Just because this made me laugh so hard I had to blow my nose doesn’t mean it’s not absolute truth. ❤️

Yes. This is correct. Every bit, 100%. Thank you, Charlotte.

Needed this at this particular moment. Thankful for you, Charlotte! :D
