I'm having flashbacks to my first visit to the little grab-a-quick-bite sandwich bar at the University of East Anglia student centre the first week of my junior year abroad, and the unspeakable horror that was the peanut butter and cucumber sandwich.
Hooray sara!
Also, from way way waaay upthread, I vote no on all fruit-flavored candy except these things and the occasional lemonhead. Everything else, bleah. If I want fruit I'll eat fruit and if I want candy it damn well better have chocolate, caramel or nougat involved somewhere. And chocolate covered gummy bears are an abomination unto God.
I don't care for jelly, because I like the sensation of eating something that actually tastes like it's derived from something real. Jelly just tastes like sugar to me.
PB&Js are okay as long as you don't confuse them with something nutritious. I always feel like I am sitting down to eat a giant candybar. Too sweet to be real food! Which is not to say that I don't love wheat toast with jam, 'cause I do. I just know it's essentially junk food.
Sara, it's very exciting! I am living vicariously through you now; glad the counteroffer went through!
Jelly is too squoogy for me. I like the spreadable fruit stuff/jam. Preferably seedless black raspberry. With store-brand creamy PB (although I'm fine with crunchy), on wheat bread with a tall glass of milk.
Nom.
ION, if the "Steve Buscemi" on Twitter really is him and not someone pretending, I have new love for him: [link]
I like homemade strawberry jam with creamy peanut butter on toast. Mom used to make freezer jam, which didn't need as much sugar as the stuff that's shelf-stable. So it was more strawberry-flavored and less overwhelmingly sweet.
Had my weigh-in tonight--4.3 more pounds, so I'm down 14 pounds in three weeks!
And that's with going out to eat twice over the weekend and having a piece of lemon chiffon pie, and then having some Taco Bell (quesadillas and cinnamon twists) for dinner last night! And I haven't even started to exercise yet! (I'm heading over to the pool to sign up again tomorrow, and I'm getting my dad's exercise bike on Easter.)
Dinner tonight was Brown's fried chicken, corn on the cob, and cole slaw. But, I am boiling up some eggs for egg salad to have the rest of the week.
Whoo, sara! Win!
Ooh, Cash, I anxiously await your experimentation with the tomato planter.
billytea, is there a word for what we call jam?
