Difficult environment

I thought you were going to tell me it had something to do with a mix of roughly 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen, and I was morbidly curious about Zito’s newly evolved gills.

Do you think it affects your play for booing home crowd?

A proud member of a Giant program would have been quite upset I imagine to have watched what the organization did the greatest player in the game. (well one of them) But then maybe they just didn’t have courage to stand up to mlb.

Is this going to end up being the fault of BLB somehow?

Chunky or creamy peanut butter?

CHUNKY DAMMIT!

Smooth bears no resemblance to either peanuts or butter. And it tastes less peanutty.

Super Chunky is even WAY better.

Chunky on 12 grain bread. Tis the best after school/work snack I can think of.

i don’t understand why it’s 12 grain. why not 13? if 12 is good, wouldn’t 13 be better?

Why this one goes to 13!!!!

I think 13 grain bread has yet to evolve into grocery store loaf. Might need to trade it while it is holding an item.

Because 12 grain is nice lovely even number. And 13 is a disgusting odd number.

if that 13th grain is hemp, then it will work.

4 is a scarier taboo number to me. In Japanese, shi means death. Shi also means 4. 13 may be unlucky, but 4 means y’all dead.

My Japanese prof told us a story about going on a bus tour near Mt. Fuji during one of his visits. The traveling party took a caravan of busses to get around. During a bathroom break they found Bus #4 missing. Naturally they freaked out. The bus was just lagging behind, but yeah. Death bus!

The Chinese have this

superstition too; in Cantonese the pronunciation of 4, sei, and die, sei, is similar; it is not as similar in Mandarin, 4 is shi, die is si.

Sure as hell was for Edgardo Alfonzo while he was a Giant. Of couse, he sucked when he wore 12 as well.

I'm pretty sure

that luck had nothing to do with Edgardo Alfonzo’s performance. It seemed to have more to do with his weight . Maybe he ate to many Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.

THANK YOU!

Exactly which part of “peanut BUTTER” do they not understand???

Do they buy chunky margarine? “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Broken Glass?”

It’s like rap. It isn’t music – it’s poetry with some musical elements behind it. It has no place at the Grammys. If radio stations want to play it, that’s their call. Whatever gets listeners. But it isn’t music.

Okay, I think I’ve successfully hijacked this thread. Commence the flame war.

I'm a creamy fan

but every now and then I like a little chunky.

actually, this is funny – I was in the grocery store yesterday having a dilemma. see I love peanut butter and I want to eat it a lot but the problem is that it’s so damn fattening. So I usually buy the reduced fat kind. but the reduced fat kind has like, a lot more carbs and sugar than the regular fat kind. And this goes for all natural, organic, and the regular stuff. What’s a guy to do???

Ketchup? Catsup?

I consider the kind of fats in these foods when buying. Nuts are high in fat, but they contain a lot of good fats, monounsaturated and that. Jif however packs in the sugar and stuff. If the bad fat content is close to or higher than the good fat content, tis not worth it to me.

by BaronVonCurrentEvents on Apr 29, 2008 9:40 AM PDT up 0 recs

Buy the natural / organic

ones, with no sugar added, the ones that have the layer of oil at the top; those are the best if you’re concerned about fattening.

If you must have sugar in your PB, buy a natural organic version, then, mix it with some non calorie sweeteners, like sucralose(splenda), or if you want a natural non calorie sweetener, stevia.

The reduced fat versions actually tend to be the most fattening.

Reduced Fat Peanut Butter....

is an abomination. It should be outlawed. As Baron previously stated, nuts generally contain primarily “good” fats. Reduced Fat Peanut Butter always tastes like paste to me :-(

If you are going to eat peanut butter, just have the real kind and do a little more exercise.

This peanut butter debate is harkening back to the recipe my friend and I made up for peanut butter and onion sandwiches. It’s still only in theory because neither of us has the time to test it. It involves hand made peanut butter (chunky of course), carmelized sweet onions, a baguette, and from there we can’t decide what else to do with it. Green onions? Scallions? Sweet garlic spread?

by jponry on Apr 29, 2008 9:56 AM PDT up 0 recs

We picked hand made PB over the storebought stuff because we want to go for a more savory flavor overall. It’s pretty easy to make too except you gotta watch it to keep the oil from rising to the top.

I imagine that peanut butter and garlic together would taste sort of like pad thai or something. One of these days we’ll test this recipe out.

There's a kid that goes to the same park as my kids...

He puts a little steamed spinach on his pb sandwiches. I have never seen anyone do that. He is only six, but he eats it, so I have to give him credit for being adventurous. But, I think if you go with an Thai concept it kind of makes sense. Maybe throw some chili oil and just a dash of sesame oil?

by out machine on Apr 29, 2008 11:31 AM PDT up 0 recs

This is GD brilliant. I suggested a soft cheese like Havarti but we were both kinda eh at the idea. But a Thai spin on it would totally work.
