My kids use to grind peanuts for peanut butter for each sandwich. It's fast and tastes so much better. For jelly they mashed some berries. Simply delicious.

Rancidification? Too big a word for a Friday.

"rancidification typically sets in about nine to 12 months after purchase, hence the “Best If Used By” that appears on the container." Oh oh! Anyone have a stomach pump handy?

Recalculate.... lunch = bagel with rancid PB plus an orange. Will the healthy orange win over the rancid PB? (Forget about the bagel.)

I'm not online during the weekend, so don't worry if I'm silent. I hope. :) :-D :D
