Lucky me
I decided to make a peanut butter & honey sandwich tonight. I haven’t had one in a few weeks, but I like them a lot and didn’t feel like cooking. I usually buy Jiff, though I doubt it’s much different from Peter Pan. It’s almost always fifty cent or so cheaper at my grocery store. But Peter Pan was marked down about a buck the last time I shopped so I bought that, put it on the shelf and forgot about it. If you’ve been reading/hearing the news lately you know where this is going.
According to the most recent FDA news release, Peter Pan Peanut Butter stamped with a code that starts with the number 2111 may be contaminated with Salmonella. I still have possession of the homeowner’s association camera. Wonder why we went so cheap? Anyhow, that is the best close-up the cheesy camera could get of the lid of my jar of Peter Pan. Terribly out of focus, but I think you can see that the number starts with 2111. So I guess I’ve won a lottery I never intended to enter. The good news is that I’d never opened the jar, so I don’t have to worry about the great peanut butter scare of 2007. The bad news is that I’m peanut butterless until I can take this back to the store for the recall. I had a ham and swiss sandwich for dinner and my mouth is disappointed.

Alexa Project…
The guys over at Payperpost, rather than using something like sitemeter’s api to determine traffic on the blogs that belong, for some reason use Google’s Page Rank and our Alexa scores. Google PR I can understand, but Alexa? So……

Oh LOL! I’m so glad you hadn’t eaten any of it yet. That bread looks really good also. Not something I can buy on the mainland I’m sure. PB&J’s are the damn best food EVER!

I’m glad to hear that you didn’t have any of that peanut butter! I agree with Jules that bread does look good.
I’m not a peanut butter eater myself, just the smell of it makes my tummy roll.

I love peanut butter and honey sandwiches too. But right now, I have no PB since all of mine had the recall number. Luckily, no one had ate any since it was for cookies.
